TrackMate
An open and extensible Fiji plugin for single-particle tracking in life-science microscopy images.
What is TrackMate?
TrackMate is a Fiji plugin for single-particle tracking (SPT) in life-science microscopy images. It segments spot-like objects (e.g., vesicles, nuclei, fluorescent spots) and reconstructs their trajectories over time to analyze motion, diffusion, and other dynamic properties. The tool combines an intuitive wizard-like interface with a modular, extensible architecture for both users and developers.
Life-science researchers and bioimage analysts who need to track and analyze the motion of particles in microscopy data, as well as developers looking to implement custom tracking algorithms without rebuilding GUI and visualization tools.
TrackMate offers a balance of ease-of-use and extensibility, providing out-of-the-box functionality for common tracking tasks while allowing deep customization through its modular design. Its integration with Fiji ensures accessibility and robust visualization within a trusted ecosystem.
