Popis: Elucidation of cell-level transport mediated by vesicles within a living cell provides key information regarding viral infection processes and also drug delivery mechanisms. Although the single-particle tracking method has enabled clear analysis of individual vesicle trajectories, information regarding the entire cell-level intracellular transport is hardly obtainable, due to the difficulty in collecting a large dataset with current methods. In this paper, we propose a visualization method of vesicle transport using optical flow, based on geometric cell center estimation and vector analysis, for measuring the trafficking directions. As a quantitative visualization method for determining the intracellular transport status, the proposed method is expected to be universally exploited in various biomedical cell image analyses.
