Based on a simple ratiometric intensity computation, dual-focus optics have enabled us to track the vesicle transport in a living cell directly from the fluorescence microscopy images. However, because the acquired dual images from this 3D microscopy can be suffered from optical distortion, the calculation result might not accurate enough for the nano-scale. In this paper, we suggest a linear transformation-based image processing method for the accurate detection and tracking of a vesicle in a living cell. In addition, we present a pipeline for reconstructing the 3D trajectory of the vesicle directly from the images.
