This Java library is a particle tracking plugin for ICY that uses the multiple hypothesis tracking algorithm described in:
Nicolas Chenouard, Isabelle Bloch, Jean-Christophe Olivo-Marin,
"Multiple Hypothesis Tracking for Cluttered Biological Image Sequences," IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, vol. 35, no. 11, pp. 2736-3750, Nov., 2013
Pubmed link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23689865

ICY webpage: http://icy.bioimageanalysis.org/plugin/Spot_Tracking

The main class is plugins.nchenouard.particletracking.SpotTrackingPlugin.java
and the tracker implementation is in plugins.nchenouard.particletracking.MHTracker

The tracking methods are freely provided for use and modification.
By using the provided methods you agree to properly reference the scientific work at their roots in any written or oral communication exposing a work that took advantage of them.

The library is taking advantage of:
- lpsolve 55 library: lpsolve.sourceforge.net/5.5/‎
- the simplex algorithm found at: algs4.cs.princeton.edu/65reductions/Simplex.java.html‎
