“…Applications of feature point tracking are numerous in several fields of science and technology such as fluid mechanics (e.g., particle imaging velocimetry, particle tracking velocimetry Wereley et al, 2002), computer vision (e.g., road following Morgan et al, 1990, human limb tracking Lerasle et al, 1999), navigation (e.g., vehicle navigation Sanchiz and Pla, 1999), material science (e.g., colloids Crocker and Grier, 1996), and biology (e.g., membrane protein and lipid diffusion Anderson et al, 1992;Fujiwara et al, 2002;Ghosh and Webb, 1994;Hicks and Angelides, 1995;Zhang et al, 1991). A number of specialized, often application-specific, algorithms, and computer programs is available (Chetverikov and Verestó y, 1999;Cheezum et al, 2001;Vallotton et al, 2003).…”
