trackpy

Overview

trackpy is a Python library for single-particle tracking (SPT) in video microscopy. It implements the Crocker-Grier algorithm to locate bright spots in each frame with subpixel precision, then links those positions across frames into continuous trajectories. From trajectories, trackpy computes mean squared displacement (MSD), diffusion coefficients, and motion classifications (confined, normal, directed). It handles 2D fluorescence videos, 3D confocal z-stacks, and large image sequences via memory-efficient streaming through the pims image reader library.

When to Use

  • You have a fluorescence microscopy video of labeled particles (quantum dots, fluorescent beads, vesicles, receptors) and need to extract individual trajectories and diffusion coefficients.
  • You want to measure particle mobility: compute MSD curves and distinguish Brownian diffusion, directed motion, or confined motion from single-particle tracks.
  • You are analyzing colloid dynamics, lipid membrane diffusion, intracellular cargo transport, or virus-cell interactions where you need per-particle trajectory data.
  • You need 3D tracking from confocal z-stack time series to capture out-of-plane motion of particles or organelles.
  • You want to apply drift correction to remove stage drift before computing intrinsic particle motion statistics.
  • You need ensemble MSD averaged across hundreds of tracks to extract population-level diffusion behavior with statistical power.
  • Use TrackMate (Fiji/ImageJ plugin) instead when you need a graphical interface, manual curation of tracks, or integration with biological object segmenters (Cellpose, StarDist).
  • Use napari with napari-trackpy instead when you want interactive visualization and manual editing of trajectories alongside image data.

Prerequisites

  • Python packages: trackpy, pims, pandas, numpy, matplotlib, scipy
  • Data requirements: Grayscale or single-channel image sequence (TIF stack, AVI, or directory of PNG/TIF frames); particles should appear as bright Gaussian spots on a darker background (or use invert=True for dark spots on bright background)
  • Environment: Works in Jupyter notebooks and scripts; pims handles most microscopy formats; for ND2 or CZI files install pims-nd2 or aicsimageio
pip install trackpy pims pandas numpy matplotlib scipy
# For reading multi-channel or proprietary formats:
pip install pims[bioformats]   # Bioformats via JPype
pip install aicsimageio        # ND2, CZI, LIF via AICSImageIO

Quick Start

import trackpy as tp
import pims

# Load a TIF image stack (T frames × Y × X)
frames = pims.open("particles.tif")   # shape: (T, Y, X)

# Locate particles in all frames
f = tp.batch(frames, diameter=11, minmass=500)
print(f"Found {len(f)} particle detections across {f['frame'].nunique()} frames")

# Link into trajectories
t = tp.link(f, search_range=5, memory=3)

# Remove short-lived tracks (fewer than 10 frames)
t = tp.filter_stubs(t, threshold=10)
print(f"Retained {t['particle'].nunique()} trajectories")

# Compute ensemble MSD
imsd = tp.imsd(t, mpp=0.16, fps=10)   # mpp: microns per pixel, fps: frames per second
print(imsd.head())

Core API

Module 1: tp.locate() — Single-Frame Particle Detection

tp.locate() finds bright circular features in one image frame using a bandpass filter followed by local maximum detection. It returns a DataFrame with subpixel x/y positions, integrated mass, signal, and eccentricity for each detected particle.

import trackpy as tp
import pims
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

frames = pims.open("particles.tif")
frame0 = frames[0]   # single 2D array

# Locate particles: diameter must be odd integer, roughly matching spot size in pixels
f0 = tp.locate(frame0, diameter=11, minmass=300, maxsize=None, separation=None)
print(f"Detected {len(f0)} particles in frame 0")
print(f0[['x', 'y', 'mass', 'size', 'ecc']].head())
# x, y: subpixel centroid; mass: integrated brightness; size: Gaussian width; ecc: eccentricity (0=circular)

# Diagnostic plot: annotate detected particles on the raw frame
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 8))
tp.annotate(f0, frame0, ax=ax, imshow_style={"cmap": "gray"})
ax.set_title(f"Frame 0: {len(f0)} particles detected")
plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig("locate_diagnostic.png", dpi=150)
print("Saved locate_diagnostic.png")
Module 2: tp.batch() — Multi-Frame Detection

tp.batch() applies tp.locate() to every frame in an image sequence and concatenates results into a single DataFrame with a frame column. It accepts any pims-compatible image reader or a list of 2D arrays.

import trackpy as tp
import pims

frames = pims.open("particles.tif")

# Locate particles across all frames (same parameters as tp.locate)
f = tp.batch(frames, diameter=11, minmass=300, processes=1)
# processes=1 uses serial processing; set processes="auto" for multicore (requires joblib)
print(f"Total detections: {len(f)}")
print(f"Frames with data: {f['frame'].nunique()} / {len(frames)}")
print(f"Mean particles per frame: {len(f)/f['frame'].nunique():.1f}")
print(f.groupby('frame').size().describe())

# Mass histogram: use to choose minmass cutoff
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(6, 4))
f['mass'].hist(bins=40, ax=ax)
ax.axvline(300, color='red', linestyle='--', label='minmass=300')
ax.set_xlabel("Integrated mass")
ax.set_ylabel("Count")
ax.set_title("Mass distribution of detections")
ax.legend()
plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig("mass_histogram.png", dpi=150)
print("Saved mass_histogram.png — use to refine minmass cutoff")
Module 3: tp.link() — Trajectory Linking

tp.link() connects particle detections across frames into trajectories by solving a bipartite assignment problem (Hungarian algorithm). It adds a particle column (integer trajectory ID) to the positions DataFrame. search_range (pixels) is the maximum displacement between frames; memory allows a particle to disappear for up to N frames before being dropped.

import trackpy as tp
import pims

frames = pims.open("particles.tif")
f = tp.batch(frames, diameter=11, minmass=300)

# Link: search_range in pixels; memory handles brief disappearances (blinking, out-of-focus)
t = tp.link(f, search_range=5, memory=3)
print(f"Number of unique trajectories: {t['particle'].nunique()}")
print(f"Trajectory length distribution:")
print(t.groupby('particle').size().describe())

# Visualize all trajectories overlaid on the first frame
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 8))
tp.plot_traj(t, superimpose=frames[0], ax=ax)
ax.set_title(f"{t['particle'].nunique()} trajectories")
plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig("trajectories.png", dpi=150)
print("Saved trajectories.png")
Module 4: tp.filter_stubs() — Short-Track Removal

tp.filter_stubs() removes trajectories shorter than a given number of frames. Short tracks arise from noise detections, particles entering/leaving the field of view, or linking errors. Removing them improves MSD reliability because short tracks contribute high-variance MSD estimates at long lag times.

import trackpy as tp
import pims

frames = pims.open("particles.tif")
f = tp.batch(frames, diameter=11, minmass=300)
t = tp.link(f, search_range=5, memory=3)

before = t['particle'].nunique()
t_filt = tp.filter_stubs(t, threshold=10)   # keep only tracks with ≥10 frames
after = t_filt['particle'].nunique()
print(f"Tracks before filtering: {before}")
print(f"Tracks after filtering (≥10 frames): {after}")
print(f"Removed {before - after} short tracks ({100*(before-after)/before:.1f}%)")
Module 5: MSD Analysis — tp.imsd() and tp.emsd()

tp.imsd() computes per-particle mean squared displacement as a function of lag time, returning a DataFrame (lag time as index, particle ID as columns). tp.emsd() computes the ensemble-averaged MSD across all particles. Both require the physical scale (mpp, microns per pixel) and frame rate (fps).

import trackpy as tp
import pims
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

frames = pims.open("particles.tif")
f = tp.batch(frames, diameter=11, minmass=300)
t = tp.link(f, search_range=5, memory=3)
t = tp.filter_stubs(t, threshold=10)

mpp = 0.16    # microns per pixel (from microscope calibration)
fps = 10.0    # frames per second

# Individual MSD curves (one column per particle)
imsd = tp.imsd(t, mpp=mpp, fps=fps, max_lagtime=100)
print(f"IMSD shape: {imsd.shape}")  # (lag times) × (particles)

# Ensemble MSD
emsd = tp.emsd(t, mpp=mpp, fps=fps, max_lagtime=100)
print(f"EMSD at lag 1 s: {emsd.iloc[0]:.4f} µm²")

# Plot ensemble MSD and fit diffusion coefficient
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from scipy.stats import linregress

mpp = 0.16
fps = 10.0

# Fit MSD = 4*D*t (2D Brownian) over first 10 lag times
lag_s = emsd.index.values[:10]   # lag times in seconds
msd_vals = emsd.values[:10]
slope, intercept, r, p, se = linregress(lag_s, msd_vals)
D = slope / 4   # diffusion coefficient in µm²/s
print(f"Diffusion coefficient D = {D:.4f} µm²/s  (R²={r**2:.3f})")

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(6, 5))
ax.plot(emsd.index, emsd.values, 'o-', label='Ensemble MSD')
ax.plot(lag_s, slope * lag_s + intercept, 'r--', label=f'Fit: D={D:.4f} µm²/s')
ax.set_xlabel("Lag time (s)")
ax.set_ylabel("MSD (µm²)")
ax.set_title("Ensemble Mean Squared Displacement")
ax.legend()
plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig("emsd.png", dpi=150)
print("Saved emsd.png")
Module 6: Motion Analysis — Characterize and Drift Correction

tp.motion.characterize() computes per-trajectory statistics (mean velocity, net displacement, straightness). tp.subtract_drift() removes bulk stage drift from trajectories before MSD analysis.

import trackpy as tp
import pims

frames = pims.open("particles.tif")
f = tp.batch(frames, diameter=11, minmass=300)
t = tp.link(f, search_range=5, memory=3)
t = tp.filter_stubs(t, threshold=10)

# Estimate and subtract drift (bulk movement of the sample/stage)
drift = tp.compute_drift(t)
print("Drift (first 5 frames):")
print(drift.head())

t_corrected = tp.subtract_drift(t.copy(), drift)
print(f"Drift subtracted from {t_corrected['particle'].nunique()} trajectories")

import trackpy as tp

# Characterize individual trajectories (requires tp.motion module)
from trackpy import motion

# Per-particle summary statistics
char = motion.characterize(t, mpp=0.16, fps=10.0)
print(char.columns.tolist())
# Columns: 'alpha' (anomalous exponent), 'D_app' (apparent diffusion), 'r^2' (fit quality)
print(char[['alpha', 'D_app']].describe())
# alpha ~ 1.0: Brownian; alpha < 1: confined/subdiffusion; alpha > 1: directed/superdiffusion

# Estimate and subtract drift (bulk movement of the sample/stage)
drift = tp.compute_drift(t)
print("Drift (first 5 frames):")
print(drift.head())

t_corrected = tp.subtract_drift(t.copy(), drift)
print(f"Drift subtracted from {t_corrected['particle'].nunique()} trajectories")
```

```python
