Btrack configuration

[SChoi97]

First of all, thank you for this great resource! It has been a great help in single-cell tracking of my cells.

As the cells in my videos behave quite differently to those that this software was initially designed for (as shown in the videos), I have had to toggle values in the cell_config file. To do this, I have inferred the roles of parameters (such as 'lambda_dist' etc.) by tweaking them and observing changes in tracks on Napari. However, if all goes well, as I would like to use this analysis in a near-future publication, it would be great if I could make sure of what I have actually done (perhaps I have tweaked values that I should not have?).

It would be great to have a brief rundown of what each parameter does as well as what would be expected if each parameter was increased/decreased.

Again, thanks for the great resource!

Hi @SChoi97 - thanks for your feedback. It's great to hear that you're finding btrack (and the new napari Tracks layer) useful!

There is some information about what the model parameters represent in the wiki:

• https://github.com/quantumjot/BayesianTracker/wiki/2.-Configuration
• https://github.com/quantumjot/BayesianTracker/wiki/5.-Optimizer

We'll try to add some more detailed information to the docstrings in the library too.

Hi @quantumjot thank you very much! I have checked out the wiki and it is very helpful thanks. Apologies, I should have checked there before submitting this.

Thank you for your help!
