Epperlein","Sergiy Zhuk"],"abstract":"With a video data source, such as multispectral video acquired during administration of fluorescent tracers, extraction of time-resolved data typically requires the compensation of motion. While this can be done manually, which is arduous, or using off-the-shelf object tracking software, which often yields unsatisfactory performance, we present an algorithm which is simple and performant. Most importantly, we provide an open-source implementation, with an easy-to-use interface for researchers not inclined to write their own code, as well as Python modules that can be used programmatically.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.08858v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.08858v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-real-time-region-tracking-algorithm","repo_url":"https://github.com/ibm/optflow-region-tracker","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"object-tracking","task_name":"Object Tracking"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
