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.
