Goal: Simulations of reperfusion injuries in

rats Extraction of a large volume of blood

cell characteristics

Problem:

Manual extraction is tedious and time consuming!

Solution: a software that can automatically extract blood cell

characteristics from in-vivo microscopy video… CellTrack

1: Registration

Compensating for the frame shifts in the video

2: Segmentation

3: Target identification

4: Motion correspondence
