For all animals including human, migration is one of the most important activity to survive. In systems science of animal navigation filed[1], navigation is defined as a combination of destination setting, routing and control. Purpose in this filed is to observe, analyze and understand animal navigation to create a model of computation in their brains, and verify the model. Target in this filed includes micro navigation, like C.elegans, and macro navigation, like whales. C.elegans is one of the most popular model organisms. Tanimoto et. al.[4] found the relation between Dopamine–ergic neurons and feeding. To observe C.elegans, they developed robot microscope OSaKaBeN[5], but have not achieved to track on each cell yet[6]. We propose the algorithm to track on each object against its deformation and brightness change.
