add conversion utility for TrackMate data

[toloudis]

Trackmate is a Fiji/ImageJ plugin that computes tracking for segmented data. This is a widely used tool and we would do well if we could provide a conversion utility for our first release.

Chris feedback:

• Trackmate is a plugin for FIJI, for tracking images without segmentations when you're first starting to look at a dataset
  • Configurable detection step (using Gaussian, Laplacian)
  • ROI is always just a simple bounding shape, gives centroid information
• Who is using it internally?
  • Chris has used it for a few analyses, always ad-hoc
  • Look at a single cell over time or display it as a montage
  • But external users might be interested in it -> Matheus was interested in it
  • TrackMate gives really nice other workflows (ex: linking tracks together)
  • Using CellProfiler to calculate features? Combining both file formats?
• Might be worth looking into the way TrackMate works and seeing if there are features that fit into TFE
