Name (Type)

Description

angle (float)

The angle between base and tip of the whisker, with 0 meaning horizontal and positive values indicating protraction

base_x (float)

The x-coordinate of the base of the whisker, in pixels

base_y (float)

The y-coordinate of the base of the whisker, in pixels

bend (float)

The bend of the whisker (units: m−1), with 0 meaning straight and positive meaning pushing into an object. This is null on interpolated frames.

interpolated (bool)

A bool indicating whether this frame was interpolated over missing frames or not
