The operation uses the plugin MTrack2 from Nico Stuurman.
Example
Description
Track moving particles in a binary image and measure the distance traveled and the length of the path for each particle.
Options
min size: The minimal size of the particles. max size: The maximal size of the particles. min track length: Shorter paths are not taken into account. max velocity: The maximum velocity of the particles. result filename:
If the result filenma is set the results are not shown in a results
table. Instead the user is asked for a filename when the operation is
started and the measurements are written to that file. show labels: If checked the labels of the objects will be displayed in the result stack. show positions: If checked the positions of the objects are displayed in the result stack. show paths: If checked an image showing the paths of all particles is created. show paths lengths: If checked the lengths of the paths are reported, otherwise only the coordinates of all points on the paths are reported. max columns: The maximal number of tracks that are reported next to each other. Further tracks are reported below.
Parameter
The only parameter is the input image. It must be a binary stack.
Results
Result (ImagePlus): The result stack showing the particles with their labels and positions. PathsImage (ImagePlus): A 2-dimensional image showing the paths. TrackMeasurements (TextPanel): The measured paths.
