| − | Tracker has the following syntax.
| + | See [[Worm Tracker]] |
| − | | + | |
| − | Tracker [StringBeforeLabeledImageFilename] [StringBeforeRawImageFilename] [StartFrame] [EndFrame]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | For each frame tracker returns a text file containing the five semicolon-delimited fields:
| + | |
| − | * ID
| + | |
| − | * x coordinates of spine
| + | |
| − | * y coordinates of spine
| + | |
| − | * Distance from head to middle
| + | |
| − | * Distance from tail to middle
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Each line of the file corresponds to a single worm. The text files has the same filename as the Raw images but with a ".txt" insted of an ".tif"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Notes'''
| + | |
| − | * In labeled images the background pixels must be assigned a value of 0.
| + | |
| − | * Tracker can accept binary images if labeled images are not available.
| + | |
| − | * The input images should be single-slice 8-bit TIFs. Other image formats have not been tested.
| + | |
| − | * The frame number must have 4 digits.
| + | |
| − | * The frame number must be at to the end of the image name.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Example Input'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To track worms with the following image sequence...
| + | |
| − | C:\data\Im0000.tif
| + | |
| − | C:\data\Im0001.tif
| + | |
| − | C:\data\Im0002.tif
| + | |
| − | C:\data\Im0003.tif
| + | |
| − | C:\data\Im0004.tif
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ...with their associated labeled image sequence...
| + | |
| − | C:\data\LabeledIm0000.tif
| + | |
| − | C:\data\LabeledIm0001.tif
| + | |
| − | C:\data\LabeledIm0002.tif
| + | |
| − | C:\data\LabeledIm0003.tif
| + | |
| − | C:\data\LabeledIm0004.tif
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ...the following command should be used.
| + | |
| − | Tracker "C:\data\Im" "C:\data\LabeledIm" 0 4
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Example Output'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Here is an example output file for two worms. The second worm has an ID of 2 and a spine located at (157.459,369.683), (159.604,369.997), (161.898,370.368) and so on. Its distance from head to middle is 19.2118 and its distance from tail to middle is 16.0946.
