2.4.4 Segmenters

Takes input from the sensor transform/filter step and buffers the data until a segment is found.

Windowing
Parameters
  • input_data (_type_) – _description_

  • group_columns (_type_) – _description_

  • window_size (_type_) – _description_

  • delta (_type_) – _description_

  • train_delta (int , optional) – _description_. Defaults to 0.

  • return_segment_index (bool , optional) – _description_. Defaults to False.

Windowing Threshold Segmentation

This function transfer the input_data and group_column from the previous pipeline block. This is a single pass threshold segmentation algorithm which transforms a window of the data stream that defined with ‘threshold_space_width’ into threshold space. The threshold space can be computed as ‘standard deviation’(std), ‘sum’, ‘absolute sum’, ‘absolute average’ and ‘variance’. The vt threshold is then compared against the calculated value with a comparison type of ">=". Once the threshold space is detected above the vt_threshold that becomes the anchor point. The segment starts at the index of the detected point minus a user specified offset. The end of the segment is immediately set to the window size.

Parameters
  • column_of_interest (str) – name of the stream to use for segmentation

  • window_size (int) – number of samples in the window (default is 100)

  • offset (int) – The offset from the anchor point and the start of the segment. for a offset of 0, the start of the window will start at the anchor point. ( default is 0)

  • vt_threshold (int) – vt_threshold value which determines the segment.

  • threshold_space_width (int) – Size of the threshold buffer.

  • threshold_space (str) – Threshold transformation space. (std, sum, absolute sum, variance, absolute avg)

  • comparison (str) – the comparison between threshold space and vertical threshold (>=, <=)

  • return_segment_index (False) – Set to true to see the segment indexes for start and end.

Returns

The segmented result will have a new column called SegmentID that contains the segment IDs.

Max Min Threshold Segmentation

This is a max min threshold segmentation algorithm which transforms a window of the data stream of size threshold_space_width into threshold space. This function transfer the input_data and group_column from the previous pipeline block.

The threshold space can be computed as standard deviation, sum, absolute sum, absolute average and variance. The vt threshold is then compared against the calculated value with a comparison type of ">=" for the start of the segment and "<=" for the end of the segment. This algorithm is a two pass detection. The first pass detects the start of the segment. The second pass detects the end of the segment.

Parameters
  • column_of_interest (str) – name of the stream to use for segmentation

  • max_segment_length (int) – number of samples in the window (default is 100)

  • min_segment_length – The smallest segment allowed.

  • threshold_space_width (float) – number of samples to check for being above the vt_threshold before forgetting segment.

  • threshold_space (std) – Threshold transformation space. (std, sum, absolute sum, variance, absolute avg)

  • first_vt_threshold (int) – vt_threshold value to begin detecting a segment

  • second_vt_threshold (int) – vt_threshold value to detect a segments end.

  • return_segment_index (False) – set to true to see the segment indexes for start and end.

Returns

The segmented result will have a new column called SegmentID that contains the segment IDs.

General Threshold Segmentation

This is a general threshold segmentation algorithm which transforms a window of the data stream of size threshold_space_width into threshold space. This function transfer the input_data and group_column from the previous pipeline block.

The threshold space can be computed as standard deviation, sum, absolute sum, absolute average and variance. The vt threshold is then compared against the calculated value with a comparison type of "<=" or ">=" based on the use of “min” or “max” in the comparison type. This algorithm is a two pass detection. The first pass detects the start of the segment. The second pass detects the end of the segment. In this generalized algorithm, the two can be set independently.

Parameters
  • first_column_of_interest (str) – name of the stream to use for first threshold segmentation

  • second_column_of_interest (str) – name of the stream to use for second threshold segmentation

  • max_segment_length (int) – number of samples in the window (default is 200)

  • min_segment_length (int) – The smallest segment allowed. (default 100)

  • first_vt_threshold (int) – vt_threshold value to begin detecting a segment

  • first_threshold_space (str) – threshold space to detect segment against (std, variance, absolute avg, absolute sum, sum)

  • first_comparison (str) – detect threshold above(max) or below(min) the vt_threshold (max, min)

  • second_vt_threshold (int) – vt_threshold value to detect a segments end.

  • second_threshold_space (str) – threshold space to detect segment end (std, variance, absolute avg, absolute sum, sum)

  • second_comparison (str) – detect threshold above(max) or below(min) the vt_threshold (max, min) threshold_space_width (int): the size of the buffer that the threshold value is calculated from.

  • return_segment_index (False) – set to true to see the segment indexes for start and end.

Returns

The segmented result will have a new column called SegmentID that contains the segment IDs.

Double Peak Key Segmentation

Considers a double peak as the key to begin segmentation segmentation and a single peak as the end.

Parameters
  • input_data (DataFrame) – The input data.

  • axis_of_interest (str) – The stream to use for segmentation.

  • group_columns ([ str ]) – A list of column names to use for grouping.

  • max_segment_length (int) – This is the maximum number of samples a segment can contain. A segment length too large will not fit on the device.

  • return_segment_index (False) – Set to true to see the segment indexes for start and end.

    Note: This should only be used for visualization not pipeline building.
Adaptive Windowing Segmentation

A sliding windowing technique with adaptive sizing. This will find the largest point after min_segment_length that is above the threshold. That point will be considered the end of the segment. If no points are above the threshold before reaching max segment length, then the segment will stop at max_segment_length

Parameters
  • input_data (DataFrame) – The input data.

  • columns_of_interest (str) – The stream to use for segmentation.

  • group_columns ([ str ]) – A list of column names to use for grouping.

  • max_segment_length (int) – This is the maximum number of samples a segment can contain.

  • min_segment_length (int) – segment can contain.

  • threshold (int) – The threshold must be met to start looking for the end of the segment early. If the threshold is not met, the segment ends at the max_segment_length

  • absolute_value (bool) – Takes the absolute value of the sensor data prior do doing the comparison

  • return_segment_index (False) – Set to true to see the segment indexes for start and end.
