Capturing the detailed motion and behavior of
biological organisms plays an important role in a
wide variety of research disciplines. However, the
efficient and rapid quantification of these complex
behavioral traits imposes a major bottleneck on the
elucidation of many interesting scientific questions.
To address this constraint, this book develops a
suite of model-based visual tracking algorithms that
operate in a high-resolution manner needed for a
productive synthesis with modern genetic approaches.
The method is used to track the position and shape of
multiple nematodes during mating...
