Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	beforeBatch(int firstFrameNo) Invoked before processing batch. Eg, say a user wants to process 10 frames: beforeBatch is called once before beforeStep is called 10 times Typically used to show a dialog and acquire algorithm parameters.
void	beforeStep(int frameNo) Invoked before every step()
java.lang.String	getAbbrev() Abbreviation, used for display in the frame tree
java.lang.String	getClassName() Class name, used for instantiation.
java.lang.String	getName() A friendly name, to be shown to the user.
void	step(int frameNo, VPoint translation) This is the main function to implement - the one that performs the tracking / segmentation.

Method Detail

step

void step(int frameNo,
        VPoint translation)

This is the main function to implement - the one that performs the tracking / segmentation.

Typically, from within this function you'll call:
CurrentExperiment.getFrame(int frameNo)
CurrentExperiment.getBacteriasForFrame(int frameNo)
CurrentExperiment.saveROI(ij.gui.Roi roi, int frameNo, Bacteria b, int roiType)

Parameters:

frameNo - the frame to process

translation - translation with regards to the previous frame (not necessarily frameNo-1, if that one is ignored)

getName

java.lang.String getName()

A friendly name, to be shown to the user.

Returns:

friendly name

getClassName

java.lang.String getClassName()

Class name, used for instantiation.

Returns:

class name

getAbbrev

java.lang.String getAbbrev()

Abbreviation, used for display in the frame tree

beforeStep

void beforeStep(int frameNo)

Invoked before every step()

Parameters:

frameNo -

beforeBatch

void beforeBatch(int firstFrameNo)

Invoked before processing batch.
Eg, say a user wants to process 10 frames:
beforeBatch is called once before
beforeStep is called 10 times
Typically used to show a dialog and acquire algorithm parameters.

Parameters:

firstFrameNo -
