Tracktable: Trajectory Analysis and Rendering¶
Hello! Welcome to the Tracktable documentation. Here you will find information and examples pertaining to the installation and usage of the Tracktable library.
Tracktable’s Purpose¶
Tracktable’s purpose is to load, assemble, analyze and render the paths traced out by moving objects, which we call _trajectories_. We combine the best tools and techniques we can find from both Python and C++ with the intent of making all of our capabilities easily accessible from both languages. Our goal is to make it easy to…
Render trajectories as histograms (heatmaps), track plots and movies. In Tracktable 1.5.0, histograms are available as still images, track plots are available as still images and interactive maps, and movies can be written in any format supported by FFMPEG supports.
Run heavy-duty analysis in C++ and manipulate the results quickly in Python, including Jupyter notebooks. Our core data structures and algorithms are implemented in C++ for speed.
Couple algorithms from top to bottom:
Easy I/O to and from delimited text files
Perform filtering and cleaning techniques to assemble points into trajectories
Characterize trajectories using features derived from computational geometry
Find clusters and similar trajectories
Communicate findings with visualization
Tracktable’s Target Audience¶
The target audience of Tracktable is individuals or teams that are interested in generating, analyzing and visualizing trajectories based on data generated by a variety of moving objects such as ships, airplanes and cars.
Tracktable’s Capabilities¶
Tracktable’s core capabilities include these features:
DBSCAN Clustering
Multilevel Distance Geometry
Data Generation
