temporal_band_power — MOTIONMAG temporal op

Data kinds: videoimage2d

Call: import motionmag; motionmag.temporal_band_power(video, f_lo, f_hi, fps) -> 'np.ndarray' (or opsmotionmag.get("temporal_band_power"))

Usage

Per-pixel mean-square power inside a temporal band -> `(H, W)` map.

"Where in the frame is something moving at this frequency?" — a resonance

map. The value at a pixel is the mean over time of the squared band-passed

signal, so a pure sinusoid of amplitude `a` inside the band reads exactly

`a^2/2 (Parseval; measured relative error 3.08e-16 for a = 0.3`).

This is an *analysis map*, not a displayable image: it is a power and is not

bounded by 1. Pixels with no in-band content read 0.
