Trackastra is part of the brand-new TrackMate v8.

It is the first deep-learning-based ("AI") drop-in replacement for TrackMate's regular LAP-Track algorithm.

Tracks out of the box for many types of datasets (bacteria, fluorescent nuclei, phase contrast cell culture etc), zero parameters to tune 🤖

Preprint -
Excited to present WHOLISTIC, which extends the concept of whole-brain functional imaging to the entire body. Pioneering work by incredibly talented Virginia Ruetten @vmsruetten.bsky.social, this platform reveals whole-organism cellular dynamics in vivo.

Cell tracking is never perfect, and it's important to understand the types of errors your solution contains.

Here is my stab at this: Divisualisations in @napari.org. github.com/bentaculum/d...

You spin tracks out upwards from the playing video. Green edges are correct, FP in magenta, FN in cyan.

Spotiflow, our deep learning based spot detection method for microscopy, is now published in @natmethods.nature.com!
Since the pre-print, we have added many features, notably native 3D detection!
