LabTrack is a program for tracking moving objects between successive video frames. LabTrack is an easy to use tool for motility analysis of objects, cells or organelles.
LabTrack is used for analysis of:
Bacteria swimming behaviour,
Protozoan motility,
Zooplankton behaviour,
Swimming behaviour of fish,
Protein filament movement.
LabTrack can track hundreds of objects simultaneously, depending on the range of object velocities and the resolution of the video sequences. It can read virtually all digital video formats using QuickTime™ technology. Position, velocity, acceleration, and trajectory angle can be exported in spreadsheet format.

LabTrack is basically a two dimensional tracking system because it calculates tracks from two dimensional digital video. Objects are isolated from the background using a grey-scale threshold value. Optional image analysis functions enhance contrast and remove uneven lighting. An optional three dimensional reconstruction utility can be used to analyze and display 3-D tracks (LabTrack 3D) from two video sequences recorded perpendicularly to each other.
