celltrackR - Motion Trajectory Analysis
Methods for analyzing (cell) motion in two or three
dimensions. Available measures include displacement,
confinement ratio, autocorrelation, straightness, turning
angle, and fractal dimension. Measures can be applied to entire
tracks, steps, or subtracks with varying length. While the
methodology has been developed for cell trajectory analysis, it
is applicable to anything that moves including animals, people,
or vehicles. Some of the methodology implemented in this
packages was described by: Beauchemin, Dixit, and Perelson
