The current bead detection uses the observation that beads emit almost always, so create hyper-dense regions.
However, it is not unusual for beads to become detached, or fail, in which case they do not have emissions for a large span of time.
The current detection method could, in the worst case, using an unstable bead, and have incorrect tracking information.
The current criteria ranks candidates by their emission density (top k).
Proposed correction
- For each detected bead, compute the temporal presence of that bead (>90% of frames)
- If a candidate does not have emissions for a configurable amount of time, discard it
