Collecting and Using Metadata
Metadata in biomechanics typically refers to supplementary data about our subjects or experiments (i.e. subject age, pitching speed, skill level, etc.). Properly formatted metadata can be used to refine Inspect3D queries using the CMZ Builder. Metadata can come from a variety of sources, including collection systems or subject demographic info. Inspect3D expects metadata to come in .csv format and has a framework that can accept different types of data.
Making A Metadata File Example
Let's say you have three subjects worth of data where each subject walks at four different speeds and has a different weight.
Start by separating the subject data into discrete folders all contained within a parent folder: ->Parent
>Subject01
>Subject02
>Subject03
Ensure that each subject folder contains the relevant motion trials or dynamic files as well as a static or calibration file.
In this example let us say we want to include metadata on the subject's walking speed and weight. To create a csv file for this metadata, start by creating a row of headers. The minimum requirements for a metadata file include the static file name and dynamic file name. After that, we can add the other parameters we are interested in.
