Epithelia grow and undergo extensive rearrangements to achieve their final size and shape.
Imaging the dynamics of tissue growth and morphogenesis is now possible with advances in …

A transition from qualitative to quantitative descriptors of morphology has been facilitated
through the growing field of morphometrics, representing the conversion of shapes and …

Conventional cell tracking methods detect multiple cells in each frame (detection) and then
associate the detection results in successive time-frames (association). Most cell tracking …

The development of multicellular organisms has been studied for centuries, yet many critical
events and mechanisms of regulation remain challenging to observe directly. Early research …

Background Time-lapse analysis of cellular images is an important and growing need in
biology. Algorithms for cell tracking are widely available; what researchers have been …

To understand dynamic developmental processes, living tissues have to be imaged
frequently and for extended periods of time. Root development is extensively studied at …

Automated segmentation and tracking of cells in actively developing tissues can provide
high-throughput and quantitative spatiotemporal measurements of a range of cell behaviors; …

Existing data association techniques mostly focus on matching pairs of data-point sets and
then repeating this process along space-time to achieve long term correspondences …

The tracking of densely packed plant cells across microscopy image sequences is very
challenging, because their appearance change greatly over time. A local graph matching …

Modern live imaging technique enables us to observe the internal part of a tissue over time
by generating serial optical images containing spatio-temporal slices of hundreds of tightly …
