Trackmate Track statistics

jenjen
Hi everybody,

I'm using Trackmate to track microtubule plus end binding proteins. In the end I want to know the mean speed. The Track statistics give me Track_Duration, Track_Displacement and Track_Mean_Speed. My problem is that when I devide Track_Displacement by Track_Duration I don't get the same number as Track_Mean_Speed.

One example result:
                           Number_Spots     Track_Duration       Track_Displacement      Track_Mean_Speed
1 Track_0   16                   15                       5.968               0.411


5.968/15 = 0.398
Can anybody tell me how Trackmate is calculating the mean speed?

Thanks alot!

To see the difference between distance and displacement have a look at https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=displacement+vs+distance&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwieheP02J3MAhXnIMAKHYa4CngQsAQIJA
