segmentation of non-timelapse datasets

[brunicardoso]

Hello,

I wonder if Ultrack could be used for segmentation of non-timelapse datasets and if that is possible how that could be done?

Thanks!

hey @brunicardoso

Yes, but I don't know how useful it will be.

To do that, I recommend creating an artificial time-lapse and setting the max_noise parameter to create some variation between frames -- ultrack over-segments when frames are identical and without noise.

video = np.stack([image] * 5)  # creating 5 frames videos

config.segmentation_config.max_noise = 0.01
...  # set other configurations as usual and compute foreground and contour maps

# run ultrack on foreground and video contour maps
