Input formats of CellTrackVis include text and image data.
File format
- Trajectories with lineages (csv): bounding boxes with parent-child relationships
timestep | ID | left | top | height | width | img_height | img_width | parent- timestep: the time step of trajectory data
- ID: the unique positive number of the cell
- left: the minimum x-axis coordinate of the detection for the cell
- top: the maximum y-axis coordinate of the detection for the cell
- height: the height of the detection for the cell
- width: the width of the detection for the cell
- img_height: the height of the entire (background) image
- img_width: the width of the entire (background) image
- parent: the parent ID of the cell
- Statistics (csv): timestep with other categories (e.g., error, and mitosis)
timestep | 1st stat. | 2nd stat. | etc. | ...- timestep: the time step of lineage data
- 1st stat.: the first quantified information
- 2nd stat.: the second quantified information
- etc.: other values can be added here in order as other columns
- Image (JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, or TIFF): background figures
- Please see included example files.
- External library is used for TIF images.
Tip: If TIF images do not quickly show, convert its file format from tif to png, or jpg before uploading via importers.
Important: Once images or images+etc are uploaded, refresh a browser (or click the system title) before newly uploading other data sets.
