btrack

btrack is a multi object tracking algorithm, specifically used to reconstruct trajectories in crowded fields. New observations are assigned to tracks by evaluating the posterior probability of each potential linkage from a Bayesian belief matrix for all possible linkages.

We developed btrack for cell tracking in time-lapse microscopy data.
