Cell detection and tracking in lab-on-a-chip devices by image processing

This paper is devoted to the usage of image processing techniques in lab-on-a-chip devices for a cell detection and tracking. Advantages and disadvantages of image processing in data acquisition from lab-on-a-chip are described. A modified multiparametric object tracking method is presented. The method was tested on the lab-on-a-chip setup with living euglena and has shown plausible results for video with a low frame rate
