In presence of very noised and poorquality data, particles and trajectories can be characterized by an a-contrariomodel, that estimates the probability of observing the structures of interestin random data. This approach, first introduced in the modeling of human visualperception and then successfully applied in many image processing tasks, leadsto algorithms that do not require a previous learning stage, nor a tediousparameter tuning and are very robust to noise. Comparative evaluations againsta well established baseline show that the proposed approach outperforms thestate of the art.
