The appendix covering the formulation of the jump height calculations is also available from here
N.B. in case your Java virtual machine runs out of memory (you will know if this happens as Octave/Matlab will give you an error saying as much), google will provide instructions (e.g. 'matlab increase java heap' or 'octave increase java heap').
This page covers the following aspects of the analysis.
Accelerations need to be represented in the global coordinate system.
2. Data visualisation
Data needs to be explored to decide on a strategy to identify the interesting epochs.
3. Jump detection
The algorithm developed for interesting epoch detection needs to be tested.
4. Jump height analysis
Refining the selection of interesting epochs, and actual flight time and jump height analysis.
5. Manual rejection of unsuccessful analyses
Due to false positive interesting epoch (jump) detection, and possible issues in analysis, the unsuccessful trials need to be manually removed.
6. Producing the results reported in the manuscript
Execute the S05 script prior to moving on to this video, N.B. from this script onwards things will not work with Octave. The produces depicted in the video produce the summaries reported in the manuscript.
7. Sample of recording jump height with a smart-phone
Application of the scripts to data sampled with an Android smart-phone. This is included with the hope of providing a convenient way to start testing the scripts with data you have sampled.
8. Pitfalls
Some pitfalls to keep in mind when designing your experiments.
