CellTracker

Hough Transform to segment and track yeast cells

The tracker can either use the internal matlab integer linear programming (ILP) solver, or it can use the open source lp_solve ILP solver.

Installation of the lp_solve matlab bindings

• for more detailed information see here

1. install the lp_solve libary

2. downlaod the lp_solve matlab bindings (can be found here. Make sure to install the version corresponding to your lp_solve version.

3. compile the lp_solve matlab bindings

• for example on ubuntu:

1. go to the directory in which the matlab bindings have been downloaded and start matlab
2. edit the Makefile.m or Makfile64.m (depending on your system architecture). Set the lpsolvepath variable to the path where the lp_solve code files are residing (if you installed the lp_solve development files via apt-get '/usr/include/lpsolve`)
3. exectue the Makefile-script
4. copy the mxlpsolve.mexa32 or mxlpsolve.mexa64 file to the CellTracker directory
5. add the directory containing the lp_solve library (liblpsolve55.so) to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (if you are using bash on ubuntu: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/lp_solve)
