Summary:In vivo observation of cells in the Arabidopsis thaliana root, by time-lapse confocal microscopy, is central to biology research. The research herein described is based on large amount of image data, which must be analyzed to determine the location and state of individual cells. Automating the process of cell tracking is an important step to create tools which will facilitate the analysis of cellspsila evolution through time. Here we introduce a confocal tracking system designed in two stages. At the image acquisition stage, we track the area under analysis based on point-to-point correspondences and motion estimation. After image acquisition, we compute cell-to-cell correspondences through time. The final result is a temporal structured information about each cell.
