+## Functionality overview
+
+**Segmentation:** `elf` implements graph-based segmentation using the implementations of multict, lifted multicut and other graph partitioning approaches from [nifty](https://github.com/DerThorsten/nifty).
+Check out [the examples](https://github.com/constantinpape/elf/tree/master/example/segmentation) to see how to use this functionality for segmenting your data.
+
+**Tracking:** `elf` implements graph-based tracking using the implementations from [motile](https://github.com/funkelab/motile).
+Checkout [the examples](https://github.com/constantinpape/elf/tree/master/example/tracking) to see how to use this functionality to track your data.
+
+In order to use this functionality you will need to install `motile`. You can do this via
+```
+conda install -c conda-forge -c funkelab -c gurobi ilpy
+```
+and then
+```
