description: DATA belonging to the paper<br> "A graph-based cell tracking algorithm with few manually tunable parameters and automated segmentation error correction"<br> Katharina Löffler, Tim Scherr, Ralf Mikut<br> doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.03.16.435631 ----------------------------- To investigate the influence of different segmentation errors on the tracking performance we simulate errorneous segmentation data:<br> - under-segmentation (referred to as "merge" in the folders), over-segmentation("split"), False Negatives ("remove"), combination of the aforementioned errors ("mixed")<br> - percentages: 1,2,5,10,20 of errorneous masks per dataset<br> - runs: 5 randomly initialized runs per combination<br> - datasets: Fluo-N2DH-SIM+ and Fluo-N3DH-SIM+ each with two image sequences<br> ---&gt; in total 4 (error types) * 5 (percentage) * 5 (runs) * 2 (data sets) * 2 (image sequences) = 400 datasets The datasets can be recreated by running our code https://git.scc.kit.edu/KIT-Sch-GE/2021-cell-tracking<br> ---------------------------- RESULTS<br> We evuated the four tracking algorithms KIT-Sch-GE(1), KTH-SE, MU-Lux-CZ and our proposed algorithm on the aforementioned datasets and compare their performance using the CTC metrics DET, SEG and TRA.<br> This repository contains all metrics as xls files and all tracking results as image sequences. <br> <strong>xls files</strong><br> -----------<br> compare_all_trackers_on_synt_bm.csv<br> Comparing the tracking algorithms MU-Lux-CZ, KTH-SE, KIT-Sch-GE(1) and the proposed tracking algorithm on synthetically degraded segmentation data Fluo-N2DH-SIM+ and Fluo-N3DH-SIM+ (Cell Tracking Challenge datasets).<br> Reported scores are DET, SEG and TRA from the Cell Tracking Challenge<br> (Fig8 and Fig9 and Supplementary Figures 3 and 4 are created from this data) <br> compare_postprocessing_on_synth_bm.csv<br> Comparing the different post-processing strategies of the proposed tracking algorithm algorithm on synthetically degraded segmentation data Fluo-N2DH-SIM+ and Fluo-N3DH-SIM+ (Cell Tracking Challenge datasets).<br> Reported scores are DET, SEG and TRA from the Cell Tracking Challenge<br> (Fig7 and Fig8 and Supplementary Figures 1 and 2 are created from this data) <strong>PLEASE NOTE: the folder compare_postprocessing_synth_bm is provided in the repository 10.5281/zenodo.5227610 due to size restrictions.</strong> <strong>folders </strong>(decompressed approximately 90GB of data!)<br> -----------<br> tracking_data<br> compare_all_synth_bm<br> Contains all tracking results for each tracking algorithm on the synthetically degraded datasets () compare_all_synth_bm_no_error<br> Contains the tracking results for each tracking algorithm provided with the perfect ground truth segmentation data compare_postprocessing_synth_bm [<strong>will be stored in 10.5281/zenodo.5227610 due to size restrictions</strong>]<br> Contains all tracking resuls for each postprocessing configuration of the proposed cell tracking algorithm<br> the leaf folders are names run_xPOSTPROCESSING where x is the run number and POSTPROCESSING the postprocessing key<br> Postprocessing keys: ("no untangle" or "no masks" is indicated by an overline in the paper)<br> all ("untangle + masks" in the paper)<br> nd ("no untangle + masks")<br> nd_ns-l ("no untangle + no masks")<br> ns-l ("untangle + no masks")
