+                        <i>Distance:</i> Compares the distance between each identified object in the previous frame with that of the current frame. The closest objects to each other will be assigned the same number (label). Distances are measured from the perimeter of each object.

This approach assumes objects move in a coordinated way (contrary to LAP). An object's movement direction is more likely to be in agreement with the movement directions of its neighbors.

+            **What it does**
+
+            This module allows tracking objects throughout sequential frames of a series of images, so that from frame to frame each object maintains a unique identity in the output measurements.
+
+            This module must be placed downstream of a module that identifies objects (e.g., IdentifyPrimaryObjects). TrackObjects will associate each object with the same object in the frames before and after. This allows the study of objects' lineages and the timing and characteristics of dynamic events in movies.
