Our Method11

broken tracks

robust tracks

having separate collision statesto describe cells inside and outside of collisions

testing multiple hypothesesof cell motion and appearance as transitions between abrupt motion patterns.

To improve tracking accuracy of colliding cells by:

12

Classify each pixel in the image as a Cell or Background13

14

Variation in cell appearances within an image

Varied appearance of a cell over time

time

15

Idea: combine many “rules of thumb” to a highly accurate prediction rule.

Input: visual features from training samples.

Schema: maintain a strategy to determine “rules of thumb” using weight distribution.

Output: a single strong classifier which is a linear combination of the set of weak classifiers.

1. Mean Intensity2. Standard Dev. of Intensity3. Radial Mean

Decision Rules on feature scores16

1. Scan each pixel p in the image

2. Compute image feature vector V from a window centered around p

3. Classify p as a Cell pixel if the feature score in Vsatisfies the learned decision rule; otherwise classify p as a Background pixel.

4. Cluster groups of Cell pixels into cell observation.

1. Extensively used for tracking.

2. Estimator of the state that is optimal.

3. Consist of two steps:

• Predict: projects next time step state.

• Correct: incorporates a new measurement into a priori estimate to obtain an improved posteriori estimate.
