Implement loaders for "centroid" tracking formats #308

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There are several animal trackers that only track a single point per individual, e.g. idtracker and TRex, which are popular for tracking swarms of insects and fish. animovement, @roaldarbol's R package, already has loaders for such formats.

Describe the solution you'd like Using the R implementations as a starting point, we could write similar readers for movement. The data could be probably represented as a multi-individual single-keypoint poses movement dataset.
