ImageJ was used primarily to analyse images. Various plugins were tested, such as SpotTracker and Particle Tracker, but both failed to producing any form of convincing result. Microscopy videos were captured using Volocity software, which also provided a cell tracking function. Thus analysis of synthetic videos was done '''manually''' and using 64-Bit '''Volocity''' analysis software. The synthetic video shown to the right was used as an input for the tracking of synthetic cells. | ImageJ was used primarily to analyse images.

A synthetic video of five cells with changing shape was used in the evaluation of tracking software. Each cell was tracked using respective tracking software, and their coordinates in pixels were obtained. | A synthetic video of five cells with changing shape was used in the evaluation of tracking software.
