pyCGM_Single.pyCGM.dataAsDict

pyCGM_Single.pyCGM.dataAsDict(data, npArray=False)

Converts frame-by-frame motion capture data to a dictionary.

Parameters

dataarray

List of dict. Indices of data correspond to frames in the trial. Keys in the dictionary are marker names and values are x, y, and z coordinates of the corresponding marker.

npArraybool, optional

False by default. If set to true, the function will return a numpy array for each key instead of a list.

Returns

dataDictdict

Dictionary of the motion capture data from data. Keys are marker names and values are lists of x, y, and z coordinate arrays. Indices of each value correspond to frames in the trial.

Examples

This example uses a loop and numpy.array_equal to test the equality of individual dictionary elements since python does not guarantee the order of dictionary elements.

>>> from numpy import array, array_equal
>>> data = [{'RFHD': array([325.83, 402.55, 1722.50]),
...          'LFHD': array([184.55, 409.69, 1721.34]),
...          'LBHD': array([197.86, 251.29, 1696.90])},
...         {'RFHD': array([326.83, 403.55, 1723.50]),
...          'LFHD': array([185.55, 408.69, 1722.34]),
...          'LBHD': array([198.86, 252.29, 1697.90])}]
>>> result = dataAsDict(data, True) # Return as numpy array
>>> expected = {'RFHD': array([[ 325.83, 402.55, 1722.50],
...                            [ 326.83, 403.55, 1723.50]]),
...             'LFHD': array([[ 184.55, 409.69, 1721.34],
...                            [ 185.55, 408.69, 1722.34]]),
...             'LBHD': array([[ 197.86, 251.29, 1696.90],
...                            [ 198.86, 252.29, 1697.90]])}
>>> flag = True # False if any values are not equal
>>> for marker in result:
...     if (not array_equal(result[marker], expected[marker])):
...         flag = False
>>> flag
True
