TABLE I.

Event Variables in the Scoring Function. If Multiple Cells Meet the Criteria of a Binary Event Variable, the Value is 1

Variable Event Values
Ct,i cell count The number of cells in detection Dt,i.
Mt,i,j,τ Migration 1 if a cell migrates between Dt,i and Dt+τ,j, 0 otherwise.
St,i Mitosis 1 if a cell divides in Dt,i so that the daughter cells appear in image t+1,0 otherwise.
At,i Apoptosis 1 if a cell undergoes apoptosis (dies) in Dt,i, 0 otherwise.
It,i migration into image 1 if a cell is outside the imaged area at time t − 1 and migrates into Dt,i, 0 otherwise.
Ot,i migration out of image 1 if a cell is in Dt,i at time t and has left the imaged area at time t + 1, 0 otherwise.
