movement.kinematics.kinematics

Description

Compute core kinematic variables such as time derivatives of position.

This module provides functions for computing fundamental kinematic properties such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, speed, and path length (distance travelled between two time points). The movement.kinematics subpackage encompasses a broader range of functionality (e.g., orientations and distances ), but this file is intended to isolate ‘true’ kinematics for clarity. In a future release, the public API may be revised to reflect this distinction more explicitly.

Functions

compute_acceleration	Compute acceleration array in cartesian coordinates.
compute_displacement	Compute displacement array in cartesian coordinates.
compute_path_length	Compute the length of a path travelled between two time points.
compute_speed	Compute instantaneous speed at each time point.
compute_time_derivative	Compute the time-derivative of an array using numerical differentiation.
compute_velocity	Compute velocity array in cartesian coordinates.
