    Area of Science:

    • Cell biology
    • Computational biology
    • Biophysics

    Background:

    • Accurate cell tracking in time-lapse microscopy is crucial for understanding dynamic cellular processes.
    • Existing methods struggle with complex behaviors like mitosis, morphological changes, and erratic cell movements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a robust and automatic cell tracking method for analyzing dynamic cell behaviors in microscopy sequences.
    • To estimate individual cell states and delineate cell lineage trees.

    Main Methods:

    • Proposed a novel ant colony-inspired multi-Bernoulli filter for tracking cell collections.
    • Modeled each ant colony as independent, using pheromone fields and heuristic information for density approximation.
    • Implemented a dual prediction mechanism for ant colonies and pheromone fields to guide tracking between frames.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated effective tracking of cells with varying densities, frequent mitosis, and uneven motion.
    • The proposed algorithm significantly outperformed recently reported cell tracking approaches.
    • Successfully estimated cell states and delineated lineage trees in challenging datasets.

    Conclusions:

    • The ant colony-inspired multi-Bernoulli filter provides a reliable and automatic solution for complex cell tracking tasks.
    • This approach enhances the analysis of dynamic cellular behaviors in microscopy.
    • The method shows significant potential for advancing cell biology research.
