Our aim is to track and analyze migrating cells. Therefore, we use 4d in vivo fluorescence microscopy data, which offers a variety of

mathematical challenges. We perform a combination of registration, segmentation and flow estimation, whereas the latter will be the focus

of this talk. To detect the intracellular and extracellular motion of the cells, we present ideas for variational flow models that combine the

abilities to recover smooth transitions and sharp edges.
