contrived: Contrived example dataset

In jedalong/PathInterpolatR: Methods for path interpolation

Description

A dataset pertaining to the contrived example from Long (2015) used to demonstrate each method for path interpolation.

Format

A dataframe (contrived) delineating the four anchor points for path interpolation from the contrived example in Long (2015).

Details

Contrived example dataset for contrasting different path interpolation methods (open circles) with kinematic interpolation (grey crosses). In the contrived example, the object begins at the point z(0) = (0,-3) with a velocity of 0 m/s and then moves to the origin z(1) = (0, 0) with a velocity of 3 m/s to the North v(1) = (0,3). The object reaches position z(6) = (10,10) after 5 s, it now has a velocity of 3 m/s to the East v(6) = (3,0) and it continues on to location z(7) = (13,10). The time difference between the second and thrid point is 5 s and the object's location is estimated every 0.5 s in between.
