Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image-processing program for cell observation comprises obtaining a first image showing a plurality of cells in an observation region, the first image being captured by an imaging device, and a second image showing the observation region, the second image being captured by the imaging device a predetermined time before the first image is captured; selecting one cell as a cell of interest from the plurality of cells included in the first image; specifying cells on the periphery of the cell of interest as peripheral cells; calculating movement statistics of the peripheral cells with respect to the cell of interest on the basis of the amount of relative movement of the cell of interest and the peripheral cells in the first image and the second image; and outputting the calculated movement statistics of the peripheral cells.
