Automated cell migration tracking technique: a review

Abstract

Automated cell migration tracking is important in detecting the cell movement in order to help in cell status analysis especially when there are a huge numbers of cells in one image frame. Automated cell tracking processes involve detecting, segmentation and labelling the cell. Each step is crucial and will affect the next step. The common problems are cell proliferation, overlapping and clustering. Consequently, this review not only focuses on the overview of current techniques used to complete the cell migration tracking tasks, but also the comparison of these techniques and some suggested future work(s).
