In many fields of life and physical sciences, studying cell dynamics and function using microscopes is an essential task. This work is a collaboration with the biochemical scientists who studies time-evolving patterns of cellular behaviors. The studies routinely generate large amounts of videos with various experimental conditions. It is very time- consuming for the scientists to watch each video and manually extract features-of-interest for further comparative and quantitative studies.

With our visualization tool, scientists are able to conveniently observe, select and isolate, and compare and analyze the cellular behaviors from different perspectives within one framework. The tremendous time and effort saved allow scientist to focus on deriving the actual meaning behind certain observed behaviors.
