#!/usr/bin/env python """Measure the video<->SMPL-X frame offset EMPIRICALLY. Never assume it. Why this exists The DEGAS captures were first tracked assuming `GT frame = video frame + 1`. That offset had been measured on a near-static frame, where every candidate looks alike, and it was wrong. A one-frame error is nearly invisible in a still overlay but poisons every downstream avatar. So the offset is now MEASURED, on motion, before a capture is published. Method (needs no SMPL-X model, only what the dataset ships) The discriminating signal is the FAST-MOVING HAND against the ALPHA MATTE. A forearm is only ~40-80 px wide, and during a gesture the wrist moves tens of px per frame, so a projected wrist lands inside the silhouette at the correct offset and outside it one frame away. Slow signals (body centroid) cannot resolve +-1 frame and will happily report nonsense with a margin of ~0.01; that weak-signal trap is exactly what produced the original wrong +1, so this script refuses to answer when the margin is small. 1. Rank fit frames by projected 2D WRIST SPEED; keep the fastest ones. 2. Decode a contiguous low-res window of the ALPHA half (right 2048) of each camera. 3. For each candidate offset d, measure the fraction of hand/wrist joints that land on foreground at video frame (fit_frame + d). 4. Report argmax, plus the margin. A margin below --min-margin is INCONCLUSIVE and exits non-zero rather than guessing.
