ParticleTracking: A GUI and library for particle tracking on stereo camera images

The ParticleTracking software is intended to facilitate semi-automatic detection, 3D position and orientation reconstruction and tracking of arbitrarily shaped particles from 2-view stereo camera footage.The software consists of two packages, RodTracker and ParticleDetection.The ParticleDetection package provides functionality for training and application of neural networks (e.g.Mask R-CNN) for particle detection in camera images, as well as automatic 3D matching and multi-object tracking of these particles.The RodTracker package is a graphical user interface (GUI) for the particle tracking task, encapsulating the functionality of ParticleDetection and providing means to manually correct the automatically generated particle coordinates and tracking data.

Abstract

The ParticleTracking software is intended to facilitate semi-automatic detection, 3D position and orientation reconstruction and tracking of arbitrarily shaped particles from 2-view stereo camera footage.The software consists of two packages, RodTracker and ParticleDetection.The ParticleDetection package provides functionality for training and application of neural networks (e.g.Mask R-CNN) for particle detection in camera images, as well as automatic 3D matching and multi-object tracking of these particles.The RodTracker package is a graphical user interface (GUI) for the particle tracking task, encapsulating the functionality of ParticleDetection and providing means to manually correct the automatically generated particle coordinates and tracking data.
