Cropping and ROI #59

Closed shannon-g11 closed 2 years ago

shannon-g11 commented 2 years ago

Thank you for creating this software, it is really helpful. I am currently using it to track the distance travelled of mice in an open field. When I use the program to measure the total distance, it works great on a video that only contains the box.

However, I have tried using this to crop a video where there is movement outside the box (step #3) and I ran into issues. Everything appears to be working correctly, however, after selecting the region to crop, it's not reflected in the next steps. And if I don't crop the video, I get interference with where the centre of mass is for the animal. Load and crop

I'm also getting the same problem when I try to select an ROI - I am able to select the region but this isn't remembered. ROI

I am guessing there is a step that I am missing, but I can't work out what this is. I have been through the detailed protocol and still can't find where I am going wrong.

I hope that I can get some help on this issue. Thank you in advance.

Have you tried running with Jupyter Notebook? I too am a vscode user but Holoviews' interactive plotting tools have not been terribly reliable outside of Jupyter Notebook/Juptyer Lab. It wouldn't surprise me if this is the issue.

This appears to be the issue - I never even thought to try running with Jupyter Notebook. Thank you for the help and the quick reply. :)
