Interpolate using kinematic interpolation | |
Perform kinematic path interpolation on a movement dataset. Kinematic path interpolation was introduced in the | |
paper Long (2015). Kinematic interpolation is appropriate for fast moving objects, recorded with relatively high | |
resolution tracking data. | |
Kinematic interpolation requires the user to input the coordinates of the anchor points between which the | |
interpolation is occurring, as well as initial and final velocities associate with the anchor points. In practice, | |
these velocities may be explicitly known, or estimated from the tracking data. | |

:param xytvv: a 2x5 array containing the coordinates, times, and initial and final velocities (as 2D vectors) | |
of the two points to be interpolated between, often termed the anchor points. Each row of the array should be | |
arranged as x, y, t, vx, vy. | |
:param times: a single time (POSIX or numeric), or list of times, to be interpolated for. The times must lie between | |
those of the points in xytvv. | |
:return: The function returns a dataframe (with nrow = len(t)) corresponding to the interpolated locations. | |

Hi,
after reading the paper.
ax = np.array([ [(t**2)/2, (t**3)/6], [float(t), (t**2)/2] ])
should be ax = np.array([ [(t**2)/2, (t**3)/6], [float(t**2), (t**2)/2] ])
Hi @xxes, the code is based on the original R code that can be found here: https://jedalong.github.io/PathInterpolate.html. At the time, results with the contrived data were identical.
Hi,
After reading the paper I agree with @qmertyy.
See equation 8 in:

Hi,
Reading the function, I dont understand how the Y coordinates will be solved. It seems to take only the X, t and v from the array
Regards
