.. function:: accumulation_enable(bool)

	**default value:** true


	Enables or disables the idtrackerai-esque accumulation protocol cascade. It is usually a good thing to enable this (especially in more complicated videos), but can be disabled as a fallback (e.g. if computation time is a major constraint).



.. function:: accumulation_enable_final_step(bool)

	**default value:** true


	If enabled, the network will be trained on all the validation + training data accumulated, as a last step of the accumulation protocol cascade. This is intentional overfitting.



.. function:: accumulation_max_tracklets(uint)

	**default value:** 15


	If there are more than  global tracklets to be trained on, they will be filtered according to their quality until said limit is reached.



.. function:: accumulation_sufficient_uniqueness(float)

	**default value:** 0


	If changed (from 0), the ratio given here will be the acceptable uniqueness for the video - which will stop accumulation if reached.



.. function:: accumulation_tracklet_add_factor(float)

	**default value:** 1.5


	This factor will be multiplied with the probability that would be pure chance, during the decision whether a tracklet is to be added or not. The default value of 1.5 suggests that the minimum probability for each identity has to be 1.5 times chance (e.g. 0.5 in the case of two individuals).



.. function:: adaptive_threshold_scale(float)

	**default value:** 2


	Threshold value to be used for adaptive thresholding, if enabled.



.. function:: analysis_range(range<int>)

	**default value:** [-1,-1]


	Sets start and end of the analysed frames.



.. function:: app_check_for_updates(app_update_check_t)

	**default value:** none

	**possible values:**
		- `none`: No status has been set yet and the program will ask the user.
		- `manually`: Manually check for updates, do not automatically check for them online.
		- `automatically`: Automatically check for updates periodically (once per week).

	If enabled, the application will regularly check for updates online (`https://api.github.com/re[...]43/trex/releases <https://api.github.com/repos/mooch443/trex/releases>`_).




.. function:: app_last_update_version(string)

	**default value:** ""


	



.. function:: approximate_length_minutes(uint)

	**default value:** 0


	If available, please provide the approximate length of the video in minutes here, so that the encoding strategy can be chosen intelligently. If set to 0, infinity is assumed. This setting is overwritten by ``stop_after_minutes``.

	.. seealso:: :param:`stop_after_minutes`


.. function:: auto_apply(bool)

	**default value:** false


	If set to true, the application will automatically apply the network with existing weights once the analysis is done. It will then automatically correct and reanalyse the video.



.. function:: auto_categorize(bool)

	**default value:** false


	If set to true, the program will try to load <video>_categories.npz from the ``output_dir``. If successful, then categories will be computed according to the current categories_ settings. Combine this with the ``auto_quit`` parameter to automatically save and quit afterwards. If weights cannot be loaded, the app crashes.

	.. seealso:: :param:`output_dir`, :param:`auto_quit`


.. function:: auto_minmax_size(bool)

	**default value:** false


	Program will try to find minimum / maximum size of the individuals automatically for the current ``cm_per_pixel`` setting. Can only be passed as an argument upon startup. The calculation is based on the median blob size in the video and assumes a relatively low level of noise.

	.. seealso:: :param:`cm_per_pixel`


.. function:: auto_no_memory_stats(bool)

	**default value:** true


	If set to true, no memory statistics will be saved on auto_quit.



.. function:: auto_no_outputs(bool)

	**default value:** false


	If set to true, no data will be exported upon ``auto_quit``. Not even a .settings file will be saved.

	.. seealso:: :param:`auto_quit`


.. function:: auto_no_results(bool)

	**default value:** false


	If set to true, the auto_quit option will NOT save a .results file along with the NPZ (or CSV) files. This saves time and space, but also means that the tracked portion cannot be loaded via -load afterwards. Useful, if you only want to analyse the resulting data and never look at the tracked video again.



.. function:: auto_no_tracking_data(bool)

	**default value:** false


	If set to true, the auto_quit option will NOT save any ``output_fields`` tracking data - just the posture data (if enabled) and the results file (if not disabled). This saves time and space if that is a need.

	.. seealso:: :param:`output_fields`


.. function:: auto_number_individuals(bool)

	**default value:** false


	Program will automatically try to find the number of individuals (with sizes given in ``track_size_filter``) and set ``track_max_individuals`` to that value.

	.. seealso:: :param:`track_size_filter`, :param:`track_max_individuals`


.. function:: auto_quit(bool)

	**default value:** false


	If set to true, the application will automatically save all results and export CSV files and quit, after the analysis is complete.



.. function:: auto_tags(bool)

	**default value:** false


	If set to true, the application will automatically apply available tag information once the results file has been loaded. It will then automatically correct potential tracking mistakes based on this information.



.. function:: auto_train(bool)

	**default value:** false


	If set to true, the application will automatically train the recognition network with the best track tracklet and apply it to the video.



.. function:: auto_train_dont_apply(bool)

	If set to true, setting ``auto_train`` will only train and not apply the trained network.

	.. seealso:: :param:`auto_train`


.. function:: average_samples(uint)

	Number of samples taken to generate an average image. Usually fewer are necessary for ``averaging_method``'s max, and min.

	.. seealso:: :param:`averaging_method`


.. function:: averaging_method(averaging_method_t)

	**default value:** mean

	**possible values:**
		- `mean`: Sum all samples and divide by N.
		- `mode`: Calculate a per-pixel median of the samples to avoid noise. More computationally involved than mean, but often better results.
		- `max`: Use a per-pixel minimum across samples. Usually a good choice for short videos with black backgrounds and individuals that do not move much.
		- `min`: Use a per-pixel maximum across samples. Usually a good choice for short videos with white backgrounds and individuals that do not move much.

	Determines the way in which the background samples are combined. The background generated in the process will be used to subtract background from foreground objects during conversion.




.. function:: blob_size_range(range<float>)

	**default value:** [0.01,500000]


	Minimum or maximum size of the individuals on screen after thresholding. Anything smaller or bigger than these values will be disregarded as noise.



.. function:: blob_split_algorithm(blob_split_algorithm_t)

	**default value:** threshold

	**possible values:**
		- `threshold`: Adaptively increase the threshold of closeby objects, until separation.
		- `threshold_approximate`: Same as threshold, but use heuristics to produce results faster. These results might not be as deterministic as with threshold, but usually only differ by 1 or 2 in found threshold value. It is guaranteed, however, that a solution is found if one exists.
		- `fill`: Use the previously known positions of objects to place a seed within the overlapped objects and perform a watershed run.
		- `none`: Do not actually attempt to split blobs. Just ignore blobs until they split by themselves.

	The default splitting algorithm used to split objects that are too close together.




.. function:: blob_split_global_shrink_limit(float)

	**default value:** 0.2


	The minimum percentage of the minimum in ``track_size_filter``, that a blob is allowed to be reduced to during splitting. If this value is set too low, the program might start recognizing parts of individual as other individual too quickly.

.. function:: blob_split_max_shrink(float)

	**default value:** 0.2


	The minimum percentage of the starting blob size (after thresholding), that a blob is allowed to be reduced to during splitting. If this value is set too low, the program might start recognizing parts of individual as other individual too quickly.

	Number of blobs for which properties will be calculated per thread.



.. function:: blur_difference(bool)

.. function:: closed_loop_path(path)

	**default value:** "closed_loop_beta.py"


	Set the path to a Python file to be used in closed_loop. Please also enable closed loop processing by setting ``closed_loop_enable`` to true.

.. function:: image_adjust(bool)

	**default value:** false


	Converts the image to floating-point (temporarily) and performs f(x,y) * ``image_contrast_increase`` + ``image_brightness_increase`` plus, if enabled, squares the image (``image_square_brightness``).

		- `legacy`: Images will be aligned parallel to the x axis.

	This enables or disable normalizing the images before training. If set to ``none``, the images will be sent to the GPU raw - they will only be cropped out. Otherwise they will be normalized based on head orientation (posture) or the main axis calculated using ``image moments``.




.. function:: individual_image_scale(float)

	This map contains ``{frame: [blobid1,blobid2,...]}`` where frame and blobid are integers. When this is read during tracking for a frame, the tracker will attempt to force-split the given blob ids.



.. function:: manually_approved(map<int,int>)

	**default value:** {}


	A list of ranges of manually approved frames that may be used for generating training datasets, e.g. ``{232:233,5555:5560}`` where each of the numbers is a frame number.

.. function:: match_mode(matching_mode_t)

	**default value:** automatic

	**possible values:**
		- `tree`: Maximizes the probability sum by assigning (or potentially not assigning) individuals to objects in the frame. This returns the correct solution, but might take long for high quantities of individuals.
		- `approximate`: Simply assigns the highest probability edges (blob to individual) to all individuals - first come, first serve. Parameters have to be set very strictly (especially speed) in order to have as few objects to choose from as possible and limit the error.
		- `hungarian`: The hungarian algorithm (as implemented in O(n^3) by Mattias Andrée `https://github.com/maandree/hungarian-algorithm-n3`).
		- `benchmark`: Runs all algorithms and pits them against each other, outputting statistics every few frames.
		- `automatic`: Uses automatic selection based on density.
		- `none`: No algorithm, direct assignment.

	Changes the default algorithm to be used for matching blobs in one frame with blobs in the next frame. The accurate algorithm performs best, but also scales less well for more individuals than the approximate one. However, if it is too slow (temporarily) in a few frames, the program falls back to using the approximate one that doesnt slow down.

		- `r3g3b2`: Grayscale video, calculated by simply extracting one channel (default R) from the video.
		- `rgb8`: Encode all colors into a 256-colors unsigned 8-bit integer. The top 2 bits are blue (4 shades), the following 3 bits green (8 shades) and the last 3 bits red (8 shades).

	Used to calculate the ``cm_per_pixel`` conversion factor, relevant for e.g. converting the speed of individuals from px/s to cm/s (to compare to ``track_max_speed`` which is given in cm/s). By default set to 30 if no other values are available (e.g. via command-line). This variable should reflect actual width (in cm) of what is seen in the video image. For example, if the video shows a tank that is 50cm in X-direction and 30cm in Y-direction, and the image is cropped exactly to the size of the tank, then this variable should be set to 50.

	.. seealso:: :param:`cm_per_pixel`, :param:`track_max_speed`

.. function:: midline_walk_offset(float)

	**default value:** 0.025


	This percentage of the number of outline points is the amount of points that the midline-algorithm is allowed to move left and right upon each step.

	If set to true, no GUI will be created on startup (e.g. when starting from SSH).



.. function:: outline_approximate(uchar)

	**default value:** 3

.. function:: outline_compression(float)

	**default value:** 0


	Applies a *lossy* compression to the outlines generated by segmentation models. Walking around the outline, it removes line segments that do not introduce any noticable change in direction. The factor specified here controls how much proportional difference in radians/angle is allowed. The value isnt in real radians, as the true downsampling depends on the size of the object (smaller objects = smaller differences allowed).



.. function:: outline_curvature_range_ratio(float)

	**default value:** 0.03


	Determines the ratio between number of outline points and distance used to calculate its curvature. Program will look at index +- ``ratio * size()`` and calculate the distance between these points (see posture window red/green color).



.. function:: outline_resample(float)

	**default value:** 1


	Spacing between outline points in pixels (``0<value<255``), after resampling the outline. A lower value here can drastically increase the number of outline points being generated (and decrease analysis speed), while a higher value is going to do the opposite. By default this value is 1-pixel, meaning that there is no artificial interpolation or down-sampling.



.. function:: outline_smooth_samples(uchar)

	**default value:** 4


	Use N samples for smoothing the outline. More samples will generate a smoother (less detailed) outline.



.. function:: outline_smooth_step(uchar)

	Units (as a string) of output functions to be annotated in various places like graphs.



.. function:: output_auto_detection_fields(bool)

	**default value:** true


	If set to true then this will automatically add fields like ``detection_p`` to the output files saved by TRex. You can also set this to false and add them manually if you like.



.. function:: output_auto_pose(bool)

	**default value:** true


	If this is set to false, then no poseX[n] and poseY[n] fields will automatically be added to the ``output_fields`` based on what the keypoint model reports. You can still manually add them if you like.

	.. seealso:: :param:`output_fields`


.. function:: output_centered(bool)

	**default value:** false


	If set to true, the origin of all X and Y coordinates is going to be set to the center of the video. Using this overrides ``output_origin``.

	.. seealso:: :param:`output_origin`


.. function:: output_csv_decimals(uchar)

	**default value:** 2

		- `npz`: NPZ is basically a collection of binary arrays, readable by NumPy and other plugins (there are plugins available for Matlab and R).

	When pressing the S(ave) button or using ``auto_quit``, this setting allows to switch between CSV and NPZ output. NPZ files are recommended and will be used by default - some functionality (such as visual fields, posture data, etc.) will remain in NPZ format due to technical constraints.


	.. seealso:: :param:`auto_quit`


.. function:: output_frame_window(uint)

		- `nan`: NaN (e.g. np.nan)

	Determines, what is exported in cases where the individual was not found (or a certain value could not be calculated). For example, if an individual is found but posture could not successfully be generated, then all posture-based values (e.g. ``midline_length``) default to the value specified here. By default (and for historic reasons), any invalid value is marked by 'inf'.




.. function:: output_min_frames(uint16)

	**default value:** 1


	Filters all individual with less than N frames when exporting. Individuals with fewer than N frames will also be hidden in the GUI unless ``gui_show_inactive_individuals`` is enabled (default).

.. function:: output_normalize_midline_data(bool)

	**default value:** false

If set to true, a file called '``output_dir``/``fish_data_dir``/``<filename>_statistics.npz``' will be created. This will not output anything interesting, if the data was loaded instead of analysed.

	.. seealso:: :param:`output_dir`


.. function:: output_tracklet_images(bool)

	**default value:** false


	If set to true, the program will output one median image per tracklet (time-series segment) and save it alongside the npz/csv files (inside ``<filename>_tracklet_images.npz``).

	.. seealso:: :param:`tracklet_max_images`


.. function:: output_visual_fields(bool)

.. function:: pose_midline_indexes(PoseMidlineIndexes)

	**default value:** []


	This is an array of joint indexes (in the order as predicted by a YOLO-pose model), which are used to determine the joints making up the midline of an object.

.. function:: posture_closing_size(uchar)

	**default value:** 2


	The kernel size for erosion / dilation of the posture algorithm. Only has an effect with  ``posture_closing_steps`` > 0.

	.. seealso:: :param:`posture_closing_steps`

.. function:: recognition_border(recognition_border_t)

	**default value:** none

	**possible values:**
		- `none`: No border at all. All points are inside the recognition boundary. (default)
		- `heatmap`: Looks at a subset of frames from the video, trying to find out where individuals go and masking all the places they do not.
		- `outline`: Similar to heatmap, but tries to build a convex border around the around (without holes in it).
		- `shapes`: Any array of convex shapes. Set coordinates by changing `recognition_shapes`.
		- `grid`: The points defined in `grid_points` are turned into N different circles inside the arena (with points in `grid_points` being the circle centers), which define in/out if inside/outside any of the circles.
		- `circle`: The video-file provides a binary mask (e.g. when `cam_circle_mask` was set to true during recording), which is then used to determine in/out.

	This defines the type of border that is used in all automatic recognition routines. Depending on the type set here, you might need to set other parameters as well (e.g. ``recognition_shapes``). In general, this defines whether an image of an individual is usable for automatic recognition. If it is inside the defined border, then it will be passed on to the recognition network - if not, then it wont.

.. function:: save_raw_movie(bool)

	**default value:** false


	Saves a RAW movie (.mov) with a similar name in the same folder, while also recording to a PV file. This might reduce the maximum framerate slightly, but it gives you the best of both worlds.



.. function:: save_raw_movie_path(path)

	This is the (video) source for the current session. Typically this would point to the original video source of ``filename``.

	.. seealso:: :param:`filename`


.. function:: speed_extrapolation(float)

	**default value:** 3


	Used for matching when estimating the next position of an individual. Smaller values are appropriate for lower frame rates. The higher this value is, the more previous frames will have significant weight in estimating the next position (with an exponential decay).



.. function:: stop_after_minutes(uint)

	**default value:** 0


	If set to a value above 0, the video will stop recording after X minutes of recording time.



.. function:: system_memory_limit(uint64)

	**default value:** 0

	**default value:** false


	(beta) Enable debugging for tags.



.. function:: tags_dont_track(bool)

	**default value:** true


	If true, disables the tracking of tags as objects in TRex. This means that tags are not displayed like other objects and are instead only used as additional 'information' to correct tracks. However, if you enabled ``tags_saved_only`` in TGrabs, setting this parameter to true will make your TRex look quite empty.

	.. seealso:: :param:`tags_saved_only`


.. function:: tags_enable(bool)

	**default value:** false


	(beta) If enabled, TGrabs will search for (black) square shapes with white insides (and other stuff inside them) - like QRCodes or similar tags. These can then be recognized using a pre-trained machine learning network (see ``tags_recognize``), and/or exported to PNG files using ``tags_save_predictions``.

	.. seealso:: :param:`tags_recognize`, :param:`tags_save_predictions`


.. function:: tags_equalize_hist(bool)

	**default value:** [32,32]


	The image size that tag images are normalized to.



.. function:: tags_maximum_image_size(size)

	**default value:** [80,80]


	Tags that are bigger than these pixel dimensions may be cropped off. All extracted tags are then pre-aligned to any of their sides, and normalized/scaled down or up to a 32x32 picture (to make life for the machine learning network easier).

	**default value:** "tag_recognition_network.h5"


	The pretrained model used to recognize QRcodes/tags according to `https://github.com/jgravi[...]/master_list.pdf <https://github.com/jgraving/pinpoint/blob/2d7f6803b38f52acb28facd12bd106754cad89bd/barcodes/old_barcodes_py2/4x4_4bit/master_list.pdf>`_. Path to a pretrained network .h5 file that takes 32x32px images of tags and returns a (N, 122) shaped tensor with 1-hot encoding.

	.. seealso:: :param:`tags_model_path`


.. function:: tags_save_predictions(bool)

	**default value:** false


	Save images of tags, sorted into folders labelled according to network predictions (i.e. 'tag 22') to '``output_dir`` / ``tags_`` ``filename`` / ``<individual>.<frame>`` / ``*``'.

	The minimum and maximum area accepted as a (square) physical tag on the individuals.



.. function:: tags_threshold(int)

	**default value:** -5

	**possible values:**
		- `none`: No task forced. Auto-select.

.. function:: threshold_ratio_range(range<float>)

	**default value:** [0.5,1]


	If ``track_threshold_2`` is not equal to zero, this ratio will be multiplied by the number of pixels present before the second threshold. If the resulting size falls within the given range, the blob is deemed okay.

	.. seealso:: :param:`track_threshold_2`


.. function:: track_background_subtraction(bool)

	**default value:** false


	If enabled, objects in .pv videos will first be contrasted against the background before thresholding (background_colors - object_colors). ``track_threshold_is_absolute`` then decides whether this term is evaluated in an absolute or signed manner.

	.. seealso:: :param:`track_threshold_is_absolute`


.. function:: track_conf_threshold(float)

	**default value:** 0.1


	During tracking, detections with confidence levels below the given fraction (0-1) for labels (assigned by an ML network during video conversion) will be discarded. These objects will not be assigned to any individual.



.. function:: track_consistent_categories(bool)

	**default value:** false


	Utilise categories (if present) when tracking. This may break trajectories in places with imperfect categorization, but only applies once categories have been applied.



.. function:: track_do_history_split(bool)

	**default value:** true


	If disabled, blobs will not be split automatically in order to separate overlapping individuals. This usually happens based on their history.



.. function:: track_enforce_frame_rate(bool)

	**default value:** true


	Enforce the ``frame_rate`` and override the frame_rate provided by the video file for calculating kinematic properties and probabilities. If this is not enabled, ``frame_rate`` is only a cosmetic property that influences the GUI and not exported data (for example).

	.. seealso:: :param:`frame_rate`, :param:`frame_rate`


.. function:: track_history_split_threshold(frame)

	**default value:** null


	If this is greater than 0, then individuals with tracklets < this threshold will not be considered for the splitting algorithm. That means that objects have to be detected for at least ``N`` frames in a row to play a role in history splitting.



.. function:: track_ignore(array<array<vec>>)

	**default value:** []


	If this is not empty, objects within the given rectangles or polygons (>= 3 points) ``[[x0,y0],[x1,y1](, ...)], ...]`` will be ignored during tracking.



.. function:: track_ignore_bdx(map<frame,set<blob>>)

	**default value:** {}


	This is a map of frame -> [bdx0, bdx1, ...] of blob ids that are specifically set to be ignored in the given frame. Can be reached using the GUI by clicking on a blob in raw mode.



.. function:: track_include(array<array<vec>>)

	**default value:** []


	If this is not empty, objects within the given rectangles or polygons (>= 3 points) ``[[x0,y0],[x1,y1](, ...)], ...]`` will be the only objects being tracked. (overwrites ``track_ignore``)

	**default value:** 0.5


	Distance in time (seconds) where the matcher will stop trying to reassign an individual based on previous position. After this time runs out, depending on the settings, the tracker will try to find it based on other criteria, or generate a new individual.



.. function:: track_max_speed(float)

	**default value:** 0


	The maximum speed an individual can have (=> the maximum distance an individual can travel within one second) in cm/s. Uses and is influenced by ``meta_real_width`` and ``cm_per_pixel`` as follows: ``speed(px/s) * cm_per_pixel(cm/px) -> cm/s``.

	.. seealso:: :param:`meta_real_width`, :param:`cm_per_pixel`


.. function:: track_only_categories(array<string>)

	**default value:** []


	If this is a non-empty list, only objects that have previously been assigned one of the correct categories will be tracked. Note that this also affects anything below ``categories_apply_min_tracklet_length`` length (e.g. noise particles or short tracklets).

	.. seealso:: :param:`categories_apply_min_tracklet_length`


.. function:: track_only_classes(array<string>)

	**default value:** 0


	Same as ``track_threshold``, but for posture estimation.

	.. seealso:: :param:`track_threshold`


.. function:: track_size_filter(SizeFilters)

	**default value:** []


	Blobs below the lower bound are recognized as noise instead of individuals. Blobs bigger than the upper bound are considered to potentially contain more than one individual. You can look these values up by pressing ``D`` in TRex to get to the raw view (see `<https://trex.run/docs/gui.html>`_ for details). The unit is #pixels * (cm/px)^2. ``cm_per_pixel`` is used for this conversion.

	.. seealso:: :param:`cm_per_pixel`


.. function:: track_speed_decay(float)

	**default value:** 1


	The amount the expected speed is reduced over time when an individual is lost. When individuals collide, depending on the expected behavior for the given species, one should choose different values for this variable. If the individuals usually stop when they collide, this should be set to 1. If the individuals are expected to move over one another, the value should be set to ``0.7 > value > 0``.



.. function:: track_threshold(int)

	If not zero, a second threshold will be applied to all objects after they have been deemed do be theoretically large enough. Then they are compared to #before_pixels * ``threshold_ratio_range`` to see how much they have been shrunk).

	.. seealso:: :param:`threshold_ratio_range`


.. function:: track_threshold_is_absolute(bool)

	**default value:** true


	If enabled, uses absolute difference values and disregards any pixel |p| < ``threshold`` during conversion. Otherwise the equation is p < ``threshold``, meaning that e.g. bright spots may not be considered trackable when dark spots would. Same as ``detect_threshold_is_absolute``, but during tracking instead of converting.

.. function:: track_time_probability_enabled(bool)

	**default value:** true


	



.. function:: track_trusted_probability(float)

	**default value:** 0.25


	If the (purely kinematic-based) probability that is used to assign an individual to an object is smaller than this value, the current tracklet ends and a new one starts. Even if the individual may still be assigned to the object, TRex will be *unsure* and no longer assume that it is definitely the same individual.



.. function:: tracklet_force_normal_color(bool)

	**default value:** true


	If set to true (default) then all images are saved as they appear in the original video. Otherwise, all images are exported according to the individual image settings (as seen in the image settings when an individual is selected) - in which case the background may have been subtracted from the original image and a threshold may have been applied (if ``track_threshold`` > 0 and ``track_background_subtraction`` is true).

	.. seealso:: :param:`track_threshold`, :param:`track_background_subtraction`


.. function:: tracklet_max_images(uint16)

	**default value:** 0


	This limits the maximum number of images that are being exported per tracklet given that ``output_tracklet_images`` is true. If the number is 0 (default), then every image will be exported. Otherwise, only a uniformly sampled subset of N images will be exported.

	.. seealso:: :param:`output_tracklet_images`


.. function:: tracklet_max_length(float)

	**default value:** 0


	If set to something bigger than zero, this represents the maximum number of seconds that a tracklet can be.



.. function:: tracklet_normalize(bool)

	**default value:** true


	If enabled, all exported tracklet images are normalized according to the ``individual_image_normalization`` and padded / shrunk to ``individual_image_size`` (they appear as they do in the image preview when selecting an individual in the GUI).

	.. seealso:: :param:`individual_image_normalization`, :param:`individual_image_size`


.. function:: tracklet_punish_speeding(bool)

	**default value:** true


	Sometimes individuals might be assigned to blobs that are far away from the previous position. This could indicate wrong assignments, but not necessarily. If this variable is set to true, tracklets will end whenever high speeds are reached, just to be on the safe side. For scenarios with lots of individuals (and no recognition) this might spam yellow bars in the timeline and may be disabled.



.. function:: tracklet_punish_timedelta(bool)

	**default value:** true


	If enabled, a huge timestamp difference will end the current trajectory tracklet and will be displayed as a reason in the tracklet overview at the top of the selected individual info card.

	This should be set to false unless when using really old files.



.. function:: video_conversion_range(range<int>)

	**default value:** [-1,-1]

.. function:: visual_field_history_smoothing(uchar)

	**default value:** 0


	The maximum number of previous values (and look-back in frames) to take into account when smoothing visual field orientations. If greater than 0, visual fields will use smoothed previous eye positions to determine the optimal current eye position. This is usually only necessary when postures are somewhat noisy to a degree that makes visual fields unreliable.



.. function:: visual_field_shapes(array<array<vec>>)

	**default value:** []


	A list of shapes that should be handled as view-blocking in visual field calculations.



.. function:: visual_identification_model_path(optional<path>)

	**default value:** null


	If this is set to a path, visual identification 'load weights' or 'apply' will try to load this path first if it exists. This way you can facilitate transfer learning (taking a model file from one video and applying it to a different video of the same individuals).



.. function:: visual_identification_save_images(bool)

	**default value:** false


	If set to true, the program will save the images used for a successful training of the visual identification to ``output_dir``.

	.. seealso:: :param:`output_dir`


.. function:: visual_identification_version(visual_identification_version_t)

	Newer versions of TRex sometimes change the network layout for (e.g.) visual identification, which will make them incompatible with older trained models. This parameter allows you to change the expected version back, to ensure backwards compatibility. It also features many public network layouts available from the Keras package. In case training results do not match expectations, please first check the quality of your trajectories before trying out different network layouts.
