Mastodon – a large-scale tracking and track-editing framework for large, multi-view images.
- Interactive browsing, inspection and navigation through the image data. Fast and responsive.
- Build tracking and lineage data from images.
- User-friendly framework to navigate through this data. Easy to relate spatial information with hierarchical information.
- Easily orient the user in a possibly very large annotation.
- "Point-wise" interactive editing of the tracking and lineage data. Manual curation.
- Semi-automatic and fully automatic tracking.
- Numerical features and statistics on tracking data. Tagging of this data. Tags and numerical features can then be used to to enrich the visualization.
- Extensible: a 3rd party can build plugins for Mastodon:Custom numerical feature analysers;
- Custom tracking algorithms (detection and particle-linking algorithms);
- General-use plugins.
