The extended Kalman lter (EKF) has a long history in the field of non-linear tracking. More recently, statistically-based estimators have emerged that avoid the need for a deterministic linearisation process. The Unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is one such technique that has been …

Over the last few decades, the use of light to control and manipulate microscopic particles has become widespread. These methods are enabling new areas of research to flourish across the physical and biological sciences. This thesis describes investigations into both optical tra…

This study develops an automated analysis tool by combining total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM), an evanescent wave microscopic imaging technique to capture time-sequential images and the corresponding image processing Matlab code to identify movements of s…
