tp.locate metrics not used in linking? #697

Closed reventropy closed 2 years ago

reventropy commented 2 years ago

In terms of the number of successfully tracked (linked) objects, it doesn't seem to matter whether I provide metrics from tp.locate (mass, size, ecc, etc.), or just the x,y positions. I thought these measurements would be leveraged to improve tracking but that's not what I'm seeing. Is this true, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

Sorry for not replying sooner! This is possible but you have to specify it. Check out #470 and #651 .
