Post-classification Validation (detecting false-positives)

Post-classification validation generates a video for each .CSV in the project that contains the concatenated clips of all the events of the target behavior that the predictive classifier identifies.

• Seconds is the duration to add in seconds to the start of an event and to the end of the event. Let's say there was a event of 2 seconds of an attack, entering 1 in the Seconds entry box will add 1 second before the 2 second attack and 1 second after.

• Target is the target behavior to implement into this step.

How to use it

1. Enter 1 or 2 in the Seconds entry box. Note: the larger the seconds, the longer the duration of the video.*

2. Select the target behavior from the Target dropdown box.

3. Click Validate button and the videos will be generated in /project_folder/frames/output/classifier_validation. The name of the video will be formated in the following manner: videoname + target behavior + number of bouts + .mp4
