fn tablecompressing log

Function: Table compression based on clumps being analysed

In this function, a description of the function that aligns the table into a more readable layout. This is necessary to turn the table from:

timeframe	X	Y	seglabel	track	finalLabel	clumpcode	clumpID
418	317.41	302.24	6	8	8	0	0
418	236.47	395.8	7	2	2	0	0
419	317.24	305.07	6	8	8	0	0
419	237.49	397.72	7	2	2	0	0
420	317.09	306.01	5	8	8	0	0
420	235.51	398.6	6	2	2	0	0

into:

timeframe	X	Y	seglabel	track	finalLabel	clumpcode	clumpID
418	[317.41 236.47]	[302.24 395.8]	[6 7]	[8 2]	[8 2]	0	0
419	[317.24 237.49]	[305.07 397.72]	[6 7]	[8 2]	[8 2]	0	0
420	[317.09 235.51]	[306.01 398.6]	[5 6]	[8 2]	[8 2]	0	0

which means that there is one row per timeframe and the different clump-dependant variables: X,Y,seglabel,track, and finalLabel can be accessed by the same position of the labels in the analysed clump.

The function

function [ticompressed] = tablecompression(trackinfo, clumplab)
% TABLE COMPRESSION BASED ON A CLUMP BEING ANALYSED. Be sure to use only a
% table (trackinfo) that has already been reduced to show a particular pair
% of cells that eventually form a clump.
%
% USAGE: [ticompressed] = tablecompression(trackinfo)
%

aa = table2struct(trackinfo(1:length(clumplab):end,:));
jx=1:length(clumplab):size(trackinfo,1);
fields = {'X','Y','seglabel','track','finalLabel'};

for ix=1:length(jx)
    for kx=1:length(fields)
        auxvect = zeros(1,length(clumplab));
        for qx=1:length(clumplab)
            auxvect(qx) =  trackinfo(jx(ix)+(qx-1),:).(fields{kx});
        end
        aa(ix).(fields{kx}) = auxvect;
    end
    aa(ix).clumpseglabel = aa(ix).seglabel(1)*(aa(ix).clumpcode>0);
end

ticompressed = struct2table(aa);

Normally, the user would call this function like

trackinfo = tablecompression(trackinfo);
