Comparing /blob_features in *_skeletons.hdf5 and *_featuresN.hdf5

[jskat]

Hi @luigiferiani,

Quick question about the differences between these two files.

The documentation's "Software Explanation" says that _skeletons.hdf5 comes before filtering and _featuresN.hdf5 comes after filtering. Quoting the latter link:

FEAT_INIT The smooth module in tierpsy features is used to smooth the skeletons over both time and space and to interpolate between small gaps of unskeletonized frames. As well to create the corresponding versions of the tables /blob_features, /trajectories_data and /food_cnt_coord(if available) from the basename_skeletons.hdf5.

Are these "corresponding versions" simply duplicates? The documentation's "Output Files" section says that /trajectories_data is the same as the original in *_skeletons.hdf5, but uses "the video timestamp to drop duplicated or interpolate missing frames," so it's not a duplicate. But /blob_features is the "same as /blob_features in basename_skeletons.hdf5." Does /blob_features come after the same filtering and interpolating steps as /trajectories_data?

Hi @jskat, sorry for the delay in responding. Luigi has moved on from the lab, but I've asked someone else to have a look into the issue.
