Accidentally crossing or real vertices?

    Here's lots of white lines crossing but none of them are real vertices, right? All of them seem to be just accidentally crossing each other.

    In busy images there can be random coincidental crossings, yes. We're most interested in ones that have more than two particles, so feel free to ignore the "accidental crossings".

    Thank you. Wouldn't want to bother you with a lot of false positives 😉
