These data are the basis of the manuscript 'Wall following in Xenopus laevis' which can be found on bioRxiv (see link below).
The
CSV file contains a table with one row per video of an animal freely
swimming in a square tank for 10 min. Filename, the animal's
developmental stage, its length, and parameters of the video are
indicated in the different columns; the 'primary' column indicates the
videos of animals in the 'standard condition' (see manuscript for
methodological details).
The timestamps folder
contains timestamps for all videos that were saved as TIFF files; these
timestamps were written into the first 4 pixels of each image, read out
using two Matlab scripts, which can be found in the accompanying code,
and were then saved as those CSV files that can be found here.
The
originalDFs folder contains pickle files (which in turn contain pandas
data frames) of all the trackings; the correctedDFs folder contains the
same but corrected for frames where the tracking did not work; these
corrections can be found in a python dictionary described in the
corrections.npy file. The pandas data frames contain the tracked x-y
coordinates as well as a number of calculated parameters of interest,
such as the distance to the nearest wall at each frame. The data frames
containing all frames are called 'df', the ones that contain reduced
trajectories (obtained through the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm) are
called 'reduced'.
