Excellent result at Particle Tracking Challenge

 

The Biomedical Computer Vision (BMCV) group at BioQuant successfully participated in an international competition on automatic tracking of biological particles in time-resolved microscopy image data. 14 groups world-wide took part in this Particle Tracking Challenge. The probabilistic tracking method of W.J. Godinez and K. Rohr from the BMCV group achieved the most accurate results overall.
