What's new with v.2018?

Detection & tracking

• Adjustable head/tail detection: We've added new criteria for head/tail assignment (i.e., geometry and bending amplitude) and you now have the option to use a slider in the Detection panel to select the weight of the criteria used for detection. You can still rely on morphometric data (the criteria used in previous versions) for head/tail assignment.
• Live tracking: We've added a live tracking functionality so that you can track worms over an extended period of time without capturing videos.
• Tracking performance: We've improved performance for swimming worms with an enhanced worm-to-track assignment algorithm.

Editing

Track editing (via Repair tab) has been enhanced.

• We provide an easier method to delete an entire track via the Delete track button.
• We've added the option to undo a deleted track, joined track or split track via Undo button (you can only undo the last operation).

  • Segmented by labels
  • Count and track duration options
