# DeLTA
> **NOTE**
This is version 2 of the DeLTA pipeline. For version 1, please check out branch 'version1'

DeLTA (Deep Learning for Time-lapse Analysis) is a deep learning-based image processing pipeline for segmenting and tracking single cells in time-lapse microscopy movies.

:scroll: To get started check out the documentation at [delta.readthedocs.io](https://delta.readthedocs.io)

:bug: If you encounter bugs or have questions about the software, please use [Gitlab's issue system](https://gitlab.com/dunloplab/delta/-/issues)

For the latest _hotness_ check out the `dev` branch. You can also quickly test DeLTA on our data or your own with Google Colab
for free [here](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1UL9oXmcJFRBAm0BMQy_DMKg4VHYGgtxZ?usp=sharing)
