The Worm Project

The Worm module of FARSIGHT represents a robust multiple worm segmenting and tracking locomotion events in live worm time –lapse sequences in the presence of a pheromone. Worms are tracked according to their distance from the pheromone spots and intrinsic features are computed from the image data for each worm.
