op_compute_jerk: Compute Jerk

In duet: Analysing Non-Verbal Communication in Dyadic Interactions from Video Data

Compute Jerk

Description

This function calculates the jerk for each column that begins with 'x' and 'y' and removes all columns that start with 'c'. It takes either the fps or the video duration as input to compute the jerk.

Usage

op_compute_jerk(
  data,
  fps = NULL,
  video_duration = NULL,
  overwrite = FALSE,
  merge_xy = FALSE
)

Arguments

data	A data frame containing the columns to process.
fps	Frames per second, used to compute jerk.
video_duration	Video duration in seconds, used to compute fps.
overwrite	Logical value indicating whether to remove original 'x' and 'y' columns.
merge_xy	Logical value indicating whether to merge x and y columns using Euclidean distance.

Value

A data frame with jerk columns added and 'c' columns removed.

Examples

# Load example data from the package
data_path <- system.file("extdata/csv_data/A-B_body_dyad_accel.csv", package = "duet")
data <- read.csv(data_path)

# Compute jerk
result <- op_compute_jerk(
  data = data,
  fps = 30,
  overwrite = FALSE,
  merge_xy = TRUE
)

print(result)
