# seg1d

Automated segmentation of one-dimensional (1D) data


## Overview

seg1d is an open-source Python package for the automated segmentation of one-dimensional data using one or more reference segments. The segmentation process allows users to apply various methods and parameters for the process through weighted features (i.e., additional data attributed to the same set) in a rolling correlation size-varying window of a reference(s) to a target. Correlations can be averaged across the references and a peak detection algorithm finds the most prominent segments. Non-overlapping segments are identified and a clustering algorithm groups the most similar segments within the target. The package was developed for movement sciences but should be useful to anyone interested in extracting correlated subsequences from a dataset.

Example of the segmentation algorithm using a portion of a sine wave. The initial reference segment is found, along with any additional segments.

### Alternatives

There are existing libraries that provide clustering and similarity measures for querying subseries data.

## Quickstart 


### Dependencies

Currently tested on ``Python 3.8`` on Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows 10. (Should work on ``Python 3.6`` and above)

Required Packages:

``numpy>=1.18``, ``scipy>=1.4.1``, ``sklearn>=0.22``, ``numba>=0.48``

For documentation:

``sphinx>=2``

### Installation

```pip install seg1d```


### Example usage

The documentation contains examples using data of both generated data (e.g., sine wave) and real-world examples (i.e., motion capture data). 

To quickly get started, try importing the seg1d module and using the provided sample data. 

```python

import seg1d 

#retrieve the sample reference, target, and weight data
r,t,w = seg1d.sampleData()
# define scaling percentage and rolling step size
minW, maxW, step  = 70, 150, 1 
#call the segmentation algorithm
a = seg1d.segmentData(r,t,w,minW,maxW,step)
print(a)
# Should output an array equal to:
# array([[207.       , 240.       ,   0.9124224],
#        [342.       , 381.       ,   0.8801901],
#        [ 72.       , 112.       ,   0.8776795]])
# where each array is of form [start index, end index, correlation]

```
