A comparison between a manual and automatic method to characterize red blood cell trajectories. In International Conference on Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics. Halkidiki - Grécia. I-III (1389). p. 767-770. ISBN 978-0-7354-0956-9978-0-7354-0956-9http://hdl.handle.net/10198/8293The current study proposes an automatic method for the segmentation and tracking of red blood cells (RBCs) flowing through a 100 u m glass capillary. The measurements obtained with the proposed automatic method are compared with a manual tracking method using nonlinear optimization techniques.engAutomatic methodRed blood cellsNonlinear optimizationconference paper10.1063/1.3636845
