"""
Trajectory smoothing routines. These are routines that are out of the 
Trajectory object because they precompute values that are dependent only on the
smoothing method, and not on the trajectory itself, so they may be shared for
processing a whole list of trajectories.

[docs]def savitzky_golay(trajs, fps, window_size, order, deriv=0, rate=1): """ Smooth (and optionally differentiate) data with a Savitzky-Golay filter. The Savitzky-Golay filter removes high frequency noise from data. It has the advantage of preserving the original shape and features of the signal better than other types of filtering approaches, such as moving averages techniques. Parameters: trajs - a list of Trajectory objects window_size - int, the length of the window. Must be an odd integer number. fps - frames per second, used for calculating velocity and acceleration. order - int, the order of the polynomial used in the filtering. Must be less then `window_size` - 1. deriv - int, the order of the derivative to compute (default = 0 means only smoothing) Returns: new_trajs - a list of Trajectory objects representing the smoothed trajectories. Trajectories shorter than the window size are discarded. Notes: The Savitzky-Golay is a type of low-pass filter, particularly suited for smoothing noisy data. The main idea behind this approach is to make for each point a least-square fit with a polynomial of high order over a odd-sized window centered at the point. References: .. [#] A. Savitzky, M. J. E.
