Python particle tracking toolkit

What it solves

trackpy solves the challenge of identifying and following the movement of individual particles in digital images or video, across 2D, 3D, and higher-dimensional spaces.

How it works

It provides a set of Python tools that process image data to locate particles and link their positions over time. Users can follow a structured walkthrough to learn how to apply these tools to their own datasets, from initial detection to final trajectory analysis.

Who it’s for

It is designed for researchers and scientists who need to track particle motion in experimental or simulated data and require a reliable, reproducible method for their published work.

Highlights

  • Supports tracking in 2D, 3D, and higher dimensions.
  • Includes comprehensive tutorials for beginners and advanced users.
  • Provides a clear reference guide for technical implementation.
  • Facilitates reproducible research through version-specific citations.
