Particle1

Summary

Quantitative analysis of dynamic processes in biological cells requires accurate tracking of large numbers of particles in time-lapse microscopy images. The aim of this challenge is to objectively compare the performance of existing and newly developed particle tracking algorithms for this purpose. The evaluation will be based on synthetic image sequences (with known ground truth) simulating real fluorescence microscopy image data from a range of biological applications. The accuracy and robustness of the algorithms will be evaluated using various particle localization and trajectory consistency error measures.
