Motion Trajectory Analysis

v1.2.2 · Sep 19, 2025 · GPL-2

Description

Methods for analyzing (cell) motion in two or three dimensions. Available measures include displacement, confinement ratio, autocorrelation, straightness, turning angle, and fractal dimension. Measures can be applied to entire tracks, steps, or subtracks with varying length. While the methodology has been developed for cell trajectory analysis, it is applicable to anything that moves including animals, people, or vehicles. Some of the methodology implemented in this packages was described by: Beauchemin, Dixit, and Perelson (2007) <doi:10.4049/jimmunol.178.9.5505>, Beltman, Maree, and de Boer (2009) <doi:10.1038/nri2638>, Gneiting and Schlather (2004) <doi:10.1137/S0036144501394387>, Mokhtari, Mech, Zitzmann, Hasenberg, Gunzer, and Figge (2013) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0080808>, Moreau, Lemaitre, Terriac, Azar, Piel, Lennon-Dumenil, and Bousso (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.immuni.2012.05.014>, Textor, Peixoto, Henrickson, Sinn, von Andrian, and Westermann (2011) <doi:10.1073/pnas.1102288108>, Textor, Sinn, and de Boer (2013) <doi:10.1186/1471-2105-14-S6-S10>, Textor, Henrickson, Mandl, von Andrian, Westermann, de Boer, and Beltman (2014) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003752>.
