Package topo :: Package analysis :: Module featureresponses :: Class FeatureCurves

Class FeatureCurves

Measures and collects the responses to a set of features, for calculating tuning and similar curves.

These curves represent the response of a Sheet to patterns that are controlled by a set of features. This class can collect data for multiple curves, each with the same x axis. The x axis represents the main feature value that is being varied, such as orientation. Other feature values can also be varied, such as contrast, which will result in multiple curves (one per unique combination of other feature values).

The sheet responses used to construct the curves will be stored in a dictionary curve_dict kept in the Sheet of interest. A particular set of patterns is then constructed using a user-specified PatternPresenter by adding the parameters determining the curve (curve_param_dict) to a static list of parameters (param_dict), and then varying the specified set of features. The results can be accessed in the curve_dict, indexed by the curve_label and feature value.
