Hello everyone, i am doing a project with fish, i would like to calculate the speed of the fish. i have frame numbers with all the x and y coordinates of the fish and distances, (fps=17)
example data, time/frame no x y distance 0 0 308.00 242.00 462.9826 1 1.0 612.00 580.00 23.3238 2 2.0 473.00 879.00 306.5426 . . . 99 99.0 157,0 876.0 521.943
i would really appreciate if I get an answer. thank you
To calculate the speed of a fish based on the x and y coordinates and distances you have provided, you will need to use the following formula:
speed = distance / time
In this case, the time is equal to the frame number divided by the frame rate (fps). For example, if the frame rate is 17 fps and the frame number is 99, the time would be 99/17 = 5.8 seconds.
To calculate the speed of the fish in each frame, you can use a loop to iterate through the data and calculate the speed for each frame. Here is an example of how you might do this in Python:
fps = 17 # frame rate in fps
speeds = [] # list to store speeds
for i in range(len(data)):
time = data[i]['frame_no'] / fps # calculate time in seconds
distance = data[i]['distance'] # distance traveled in this frame
speed = distance / time # calculate speed
speeds.append(speed) # add speed to the list
This code will calculate the speed of the fish in each frame and store the results in a list called speeds. You can then use the speeds list to analyze the data or plot the results as needed.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
