Leukocyte Detection & Tracking: ImageJ Plugin

This software is a plugin for the ImageJ image processing program. The plugin is designed to detect and track rolling leukocytes (white blood cells) through multiple frames of video. The locations of the cells can be marked visually on each frame and/or output to a CSV file. The typical (and default) usage is to detect cells in the first frame and then track those cells through subsequent frames. It is also possible to detect cells in each frame separately.

There are two versions of the plugin available for download:

A non-CUDA version that only runs on the CPU.
A CUDA version that can take advantage of a CUDA-capable GPU in order to accelerate processing. For more information about the CUDA implementation, see our IPDPS paper.

System requirements:

Linux: if there is sufficient demand, a Windows and/or Mac version may be added in the future.
ImageJ: available for download here.
CUDA (for the CUDA version only): the toolkit and driver can be downloaded here. The plugin cannot be compiled without the CUDA toolkit; however, it can be executed without a CUDA-capable GPU installed, because the user can decide at runtime whether to run on the CPU or the GPU.

The plugin has been tested with the following software: Ubuntu 8.04.4; ImageJ 1.42; CUDA 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 3.0.

Please see the readme (non-CUDA version, CUDA version) and license.
