Tracking
Tracker has the following syntax.
Tracker "StringBeforeLabeledImageFilename" "StringBeforeRawImageFilename" StartFrame EndFrame
For each frame tracker returns a text file file containing the five semicolon-delimited fields: ID, x coordinate, y coordinate, distance from head to middle and distance from tail to middle. Each line of the file corresponds to a single worm.
Notes
- 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
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
