Statistical Dynamics of Flowing Red Blood Cells by Morphological Image Processing
Figure 1
Cell tracking and experimental setup.
The top panel shows a sample tracking image. Cells are segmented using morphological criteria and are tracked from frame to frame. The middle panel shows a subset of tracked cells, each with a bounding box. Each cell has a series of small color circles projecting from its centroid showing the subsequent trajectory. The black arrows represent that particular cell's velocity fluctuation relative to the median, with magnitude amplified by 4 for visualization. The bottom panel shows the experimental setup which is described in detail in [14] (see Videos S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8 for more detail).
