Figure 8. Performance comparison between CBCα and Manders' method shows that our co-localisation measurement is a lot closer to the ground truth value than measurements obtained using Manders' method with Otsu's thresholding method.

Figure 8

(A) Co-localisation measurements of CBCα(k) (blue dots) and Manders' Inline graphic (red star) for all non-empty frames in test cases 8–10 is plotted. The range of ground truth is shown in the gray box with its centre Vt shown in a green triangle. The CBCα value, which is also the geometric centre of CBCα(k), is shown by the large blue dot, and the value of Inline graphic, which is the geometric centre of Inline graphic, is shown by the large red star. Results show that the distance between Inline graphic and Vt, dM = 23.06 is considerably larger than the distance between CBCα and Vt, dCBC = 1.68, which suggests greater accuracy of our method in comparison with Manders' method, (B) two sample t-test results show that the individual distances dCBC (k) (between CBCα(k) and Vt) are significantly smaller than the distances dM (k) (between Inline graphic and Vt). *The y-axis in Figure B indicates dCBC (k) and dM (k), which is measured using the percentage of co-localisation.
