Trajectory-driven computational analysis for element characterization in Trypanosoma cruzi video microscopy.

Optical microscopy videos enable experts to analyze the motion of several biological elements. Particularly in blood samples infected with Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), microscopy videos reveal a dynamic scenario where the parasites' motions are conspicuous.

Collateral motion saliency-based model for Trypanosoma cruzi detection in dye-free blood microscopy.

The motion performed by some protozoa is a crucial visual stimulus in microscopy analysis, especially when they have almost imperceptible morphological characteristics. Microorganisms can be distinguished through the interactions of their locomotion with neighboring elements, as observed in some parasitological analysis of Trypanosoma cruzi. In dye-free blood microscopy, the low contrast of this parasite makes it difficult to detect them.
