GazeParser.ScanMatch - compare fixation patterns

Evaluating simirality between two fixation sequences with ScanMatch algorithm, proposed by Cristino, Mathot, Theeuwes and Gilchrist (2010).

Example

Following script compares fixation sequence of two participants.:

import GazeParser
(data1, additionalData1) = GazeParser.load('participant1.db')
(data2, additionalData2) = GazeParser.load('participant2.db')

#create a ScanMatch object.
matchObject = ScanMatch(Xres=720, Yres=720, Xbin=4, Ybin=4, offset=(152, 24), Threshold=1.5)

#convert fixations to a sequence of symbols.
sequence1 = sObj.fixationToSequence(data1[0].getFixationCenter())
sequence2 = sObj.fixationToSequence(data2[0].getFixationCenter())

#perform ScanMatch
(score, align, f) = matchObject.match(sequence1, sequence2)
