Functions:

Name Description
columnwise_spline_interp

Perform cubic spline interpolation over the columns of data. All gaps of size

filterpredictions

Fits frame-by-frame pose predictions.

columnwise_spline_interp

columnwise_spline_interp(data, max_gap=0)

Perform cubic spline interpolation over the columns of data. All gaps of size lower than or equal to max_gap are filled, and data slightly smoothed.

Parameters

data : array_like 2D matrix of data. max_gap : int, optional Maximum gap size to fill. By default, all gaps are interpolated.

Returns

interpolated data with same shape as data

filterpredictions

    video,

    shuffle=1,
    trainingsetindex=0,
    filtertype="median",

    return_data=False,
    **kwargs
)

Fits frame-by-frame pose predictions.

The pose predictions are fitted with ARIMA model (filtertype='arima') or median filter (default).

Parameters

config : string Full path of the config.yaml file.

string

Full path of the video to extract the frame from. Make sure that this video is already analyzed.

str | Sequence[str] | None, optional, default=None

Controls how videos are filtered, based on file extension. File paths and directory contents are treated differently: - None (default): file paths are accepted as-is; directories are scanned for files with a recognized video extension. - str or Sequence[str] (e.g. "mp4" or ["mp4", "avi"]): both file paths and directory contents are filtered by the given extension(s).

int, optional, default=1

The shuffle index of training dataset. The extracted frames will be stored in the labeled-dataset for the corresponding shuffle of training dataset.

int, optional, default=0

Integer specifying which TrainingsetFraction to use. Note that TrainingFraction is a list in config.yaml.

string, optional, default="median".

The filter type - 'arima', 'median' or 'spline'.

int, optional, default=5

For filtertype='median' filters the input array using a local window-size given by windowlength. The array will automatically be zero-padded. https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.signal.medfilt.html. The windowlenght should be an odd number. If filtertype='spline', windowlength is the maximal gap size to fill.

float between 0 and 1, optional, default=0.001

For filtertype 'arima' this parameter defines the likelihood below, below which a body part will be consided as missing data for filtering purposes.

int, optional, default=3

For filtertype 'arima' Autoregressive degree of Sarimax model degree. see https://www.statsmodels.org/dev/generated/statsmodels.tsa.statespace.sarimax.SARIMAX.html

int, optional, default=1

For filtertype 'arima' Moving Average degree of Sarimax model degree. See https://www.statsmodels.org/dev/generated/statsmodels.tsa.statespace.sarimax.SARIMAX.html

float, optional, default=0.01

Significance level for detecting outliers based on confidence interval of fitted SARIMAX model.

bool, optional, default=True

Saves the predictions in a .csv file.

string, optional, default=None

Specifies the destination folder for analysis data. If None, the path of the video is used by default. Note that for subsequent analysis this folder also needs to be passed.

str, optional, default=""

Directory containing the deeplabcut models to use when evaluating the network. By default, the models are assumed to exist in the project folder.

string, optional, default=""

Specifies the tracker used to generate the data. Empty by default (corresponding to a single animal project). For multiple animals, must be either 'box', 'skeleton', or 'ellipse' and will be taken from the config.yaml file if none is given.

bool, optional, default=False

If True, returns a dictionary of the filtered data keyed by video names.

additional arguments.

For torch-based shuffles, can be used to specify: - snapshot_index - detector_snapshot_index

Returns

video_to_filtered_df Dictionary mapping video filepaths to filtered dataframes.

* If no videos exist, the dictionary will be empty.
* If a video is not analyzed, the corresponding value in the dictionary will be
  None.

Examples

Arima model:

deeplabcut.filterpredictions( 'C:\myproject\reaching-task\config.yaml', ['C:\myproject\trailtracking-task\test.mp4'], shuffle=3, filterype='arima', ARdegree=5, MAdegree=2, )

Use median filter over 10 bins:

deeplabcut.filterpredictions( 'C:\myproject\reaching-task\config.yaml', ['C:\myproject\trailtracking-task\test.mp4'], shuffle=3, windowlength=10, )

One can then use the filtered rather than the frame-by-frame predictions by calling:

deeplabcut.plot_trajectories( 'C:\myproject\reaching-task\config.yaml', ['C:\myproject\trailtracking-task\test.mp4'], shuffle=3, filtered=True, )

deeplabcut.create_labeled_video( 'C:\myproject\reaching-task\config.yaml', ['C:\myproject\trailtracking-task\test.mp4'], shuffle=3, filtered=True, )
