The discussion revolves around finding alternative software for tracking the positions of a point mass during an oscillation experiment. Participants share experiences with the Tracker app and explore other options, including ImageJ, for video analysis in various contexts, including zebrafish movement analysis.
Participants express a range of experiences and challenges with the Tracker app, and while some recommend it, others highlight specific difficulties. The discussion includes multiple viewpoints on the use of ImageJ and the availability of user support, indicating that no consensus has been reached on the best solution.
Participants mention specific settings and features of the Tracker app that may be affecting its performance, but these details remain unresolved. The discussion also reflects varying levels of familiarity with the software and the specific requirements of different experiments.
This discussion may be useful for students and researchers involved in experimental physics or biology, particularly those looking for software solutions for video analysis and tracking in their experiments.
I could not get the autotracking feature to work. I had done all the prep required. The object I want to track and the background are very much distinguished in terms of colour. Luminosity is not an issue. I guess I am not able to get it right with the settings such as tethering and evolution.robphy said:https://tracker.physlets.org/ is great, free, and open source.
I especially like that one can teach it to recognize a feature to track automatically.
It can then be analyzed in the software.
What specifically is your problem with using it?
Ok sure, I will postrobphy said:Can you post a short sample of the video?

I am trying to autotrack the pink spot on the top oscillating bar, but It's not able to recognize the next framerobphy said:Can you post a short sample of the video?
Thank you. Yes, I know about this. But our school can not be able to provide this now. So now I am performing touch evoke assay which is simple and can be formed and analyzed manually with tracker or ImageJ software. for that, I need someone's help tracking through any of this software.BillTre said:There is a company that makes equipment to visually track zebrafish (and other things) in 3D.
Can you suggest to me how can I find it?BillTre said:There may be some user groups for ImageJ. Lots of researchers use it and might be sharing their methods.
Thank you so muchBillTre said:I would guess at an ImageJ website or a physiologist group of researchers that use that program.
If you go to meetings where these people hang out go talk with them.
Maybe google ImageJ user group.
