Adjusting algorithm parameters, and options which are not exposed via GUI - Ergo-Tools/ActiPASS GitHub Wiki

Changing ActiPASS algorithm parameters and options

By default ActiPASS does not expose it's algorithm parameters and some extra options via the GUI. However a special parameters/options file "AktDetect_UI.conf" in json format can be used to change these. If the parameters/options file "AktDetect_UI.conf" exists at the location "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\ActiPASS", it will be loaded. Therefore first step of changing algorithm parameters or non-GUI-exposed options is to:

  1. download the example config file from https://github.com/Ergo-Tools/ActiPASS/blob/main/conf/AktDetect_UI.conf
  2. Do the necessary changes using text editor such as Notepad++, VSCode or Notepad.
  3. Save it in the folder "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\ActiPASS" (Ex. C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\ActiPASS)

However if algorithm parameters are changed, output of ActiPASS cannot be considered validated. So, this option should be used as an explorative approach or to change certain options which are not exposed by ActiPASS.

See an example use of this feature at the discussion topic Adding additional cadence cut-offs to use ActiPASS results for children

Remarks

  1. The variables included in "VarsBout" is applied to both bout and percentile variables (see variable definitions)
  2. The options like "Bout_cycle", "Bout_move" are not related to ActiPASS generated bouts, and they are internal filtering parameters of the Acti4 algorithm. Changing those will drastically change ActiPASS output.
