There is a compelling need for improved software systems for delineating the C."elegans" worms in time-lapse image sequences and tracking their movements. Segmentation and tracking provide the basis for making quantitative measurements of worm morphology, and various aspects of their dynamic behaviors. To facilitate the quantitative studies of worm behaviors, we developed a automated worm analysis system which is open-source and could be adopted by all researchers in the c."elegans" community.
