Traj3DSmoothSG: Smooth a 3D trajectory using a Savitzky-Golay filter

In JimMcL/trajr: Animal Trajectory Analysis

Smooth a 3D trajectory using a Savitzky-Golay filter

Description

Smooths a 3-dimensional trajectory using a Savitzky-Golay smoothing filter.

Usage

Traj3DSmoothSG(trj3d, p = 3, n = p + 3 - p%%2, ...)

Arguments

trj3d	The 3=dimensional trajectory to be smoothed.
p	polynomial order (passed to sgolayfilt).
n	Filter length (or window size), must be an odd number. Passed to sgolayfilt.
...	Additional arguments are passed to sgolayfilt.

Details

Consider carefully the effects of smoothing a trajectory with temporal gaps in the data. If the smoothed trajectory is used to derive speed and/or acceleration, it may be advisable to fill in the gaps before smoothing, possibly by calling Traj3DResampleTime.

Value

A new trajectory which is a smoothed version of the input trajectory.
