Perception Engineer's Toolbox

A toolbox of easily programmable and adjustable functions for eye-tracking data processing and analysis.

The program is separated into a very minimalistic main program with the responsibility to load and call plugins as well as to manage their interconnections. The plugins perform all heavy lifting, such as importing and processing data. Some plugins might require others to be run before their functionality is accessible (such as calculating metrics on fixations and detecting fixations). They also assert these assumptions.

Installation from source

The sourcecode is available via git at https://bitbucket.org/fahrensiesicher/perceptionengineerstoolkit/src

1. Install dependencies
   python setup.py install You can get rid of a large part of the dependencies if you deactivate certain plugins that require those. The core library does not make direct use of most of them.

2. Running the examples
   python toolbox.py -C test/commandlist.yaml
python toolbox.py -S test.scripttest

Interfacing with the toolbox

You can run your own analysis either through a YAML command file (see test/commandlist.yaml for an example) or through a custom python script (see test/scripttest.py for an example).
