LabTrack can track hundreds of objects simultaneously, depending on the range of object velocities and the resolution of the video sequences. LabTrack is easy to use, the tracking procedure consists of the following steps:
Selecting a digital video file
Choosing the background threshold value
Setting the tracking parameter controls
Initiating the tracking procedure
Viewing the result
Saving tracks and related information for further processing
The sequence above shows a) An imported movie (bacteria moving along a gradient). The movie is displayed with a Rainbow color palette, b) A Threshold has been applied and the Edge Detector turned on, which brings out faint particles and removes uneven lighting effects. The color palette is switched to binary to highligt light particles against a black background, c) the result of tracking the bacteria, d) Close-up of tracks.
