Acknowledgments
MTrackJ was developed at the Biomedical Imaging Group Rotterdam of the Erasmus MC - University Medical Center Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, when I was working with colleagues on evaluating the performance of existing and newly developed tracking algorithms compared to manual tracking by human observers. Writing a general purpose program such as MTrackJ is not completely trivial. Therefore, if you publish results that are based on it, I expect you to acknowledge me. This will also help making other people aware of the tool. Thanks in advance.
