Test for accuracy of the HyphaTracker toolbox on fungal growth simulation. Hyphae were described as two-dimensional worm-like-chains with fixed persistence length and a variable contour length to resemble experimental observations as close as possible. Simulated image series exhibiting different SNRs as indicated were analysed by the HyphaTracker. The time resolved area data were fit using a lag-exponential growth model52 and the parameters obtained were compared with ground truth (GT). (a) Lag-time. (b) Rate constant. (c) Initial-area (offset). Note, that the accuracy of HyphaTracker decreased with lower SNRs as indicated by increasing standard deviations (a,b) and, in comparison to ground truth data, underestimated initial areas (c).
