Abstract :
This article describes an image analysis framework for the characterization and analysis of cell trajectories considering the following three biologically relevant parameters: (a) the behavior of each individual cell; (b) interactions between each pair of cells; and (c) interactions between each cell and its environment. The potential of the overall framework is illustrated with respect to real cell displacement data.
