Hi,
The output file is in CTC format, i.e.
text file representing an acyclic graph for the whole video. Every line corresponds
to a single track that is encoded by four numbers separated by a space:
L B E P where
L - a unique label of the track (label of markers, 16-bit positive value)
B - a zero-based temporal index of the frame in which the track begins
E - a zero-based temporal index of the frame in which the track ends
P - label of the parent track (0 is used when no parent is defined)
Hope that helps!
Hi all,
I managed to get Trackastra to work on my 4D dataset (515x512 xy with 81 z-steps and 5 timepoints), however I'd like to convert the tracking file from .txt to .csv format so I can work with it in CellTracksColab. However, my data is in this form:
And I don't think I'm fully understanding the format of this result; the first column should be unique track ID and the second may be timepoints, but the meaning of the third column eludes me as some values jump up to 1339. I can't figure out how to get x/y/z coordinates out of this result, which I need for CellTracksColab. Alternatively, would appreciate pointers to any tracking analysis packages you may know which can work with this .txt file (if I did everything correctly).
