Realtime Data Visualization Task with LSL - python

I have to develop a real-time data visualization module in python that is relatively simple, but I don't know where to begin or what tools to use.
Essentially, I would have two images drawn on either side of the screen, and depending on values streamed through lab streaming layer (LSL), the images would change size. That's it.
Any pointers would be extremely appreciated.

Maybe this would help: BrainStreamingLayer. It's a higher-level implementation around pyLSL. https://github.com/bsl-tools/bsl
It has a real-time visualization module, however, the initial use case is EEG amplifiers, so some adaptation may be required.

How to visualize real-time data candlestick chart for cryptocurrencies?

I'm actually trying to code a small program in Python to visualize the actual price of a crypto asset with real-time data. I already have the data (historic and actual data updated every second). I just want to find a good python library (as optimized as possible) in order to show the candlestick chart and eventually some indicators or lines/curves on the same graph. I did some quick research and it seems like "plotly" (used with "cufflinks") or "bokeh" are good choices. Which one would you advise me and why ? I'm also open to some suggestions of other libraries if they are good and optimized !
Thank you in advance :)
Take a look at https://github.com/highfestiva/finplot.
Where you can find examples of fetching realtime data from crypto exchange. Author notifies that this library designed in favor of speed and crypto.
Looks very nice.

Breaking Down 3D models up to lines and curves

I'm working on a project to breakdown 3D models but I'm quite lost. I hope you can help me.
I'm getting a 3D model from Autodesk BIM and the format could be native or generic CAD formats (.stp, .igs, .x_t, .stl). Then, I need to "measure" somehow the maximum dimensions to model a raw material body, it will always have the shape of a huge panel. Once I get both bodies, I will get the difference to extract the solids I need to analyze; and, on each of these bodies, I need to extract the faces, and then the lines or curves of each face.
This sounds something really easy to do on a CAD software, but the idea is to automate this process. I was looking into openSCAD, but seems that works only to model geometry and it doesn't handle well imported solids. I'm leaving a picture with the idea of what I need to do in the link below.
So, Any idea how can I do this? which langue and library can help in this project?
I can see this automation possible with a few in between steps:
OpenSCAD can handle differences well, so your "Extract Bodies" seems plausible
1.5 Before going further, you'll have to explain how you "filtered out" the cylinder. Will you do this manually? If you don't, you will have it considered for analysis and have a lot of faces as a result.
I don't think openSCAD provides you a vertex array. However, it can save to .STL, which is kinda easy to parse with the programming language of your choice, you'll have to study .stl file structure a bit (this sounds much more frightening than it is - if you open an stl with an editor you will probably immediately realize what's happening).
Since you've parsed the file, you can now calculate lines with high school math.
This is not an easy, GUI way to do what you ask, but if you have a few skills you'll have your automation, and depending on the amount of your projects it may be worth it.
I have been working in this project, and foundt the library "trimesh" is better to solve this concern. Give it a shot, and save some time.

Do we Visualize Big Data

I began to fall in love with a Python Visualization library called Altair, and i use it with every small data science project that ive done.
Now, in terms of Industry use cases, Does it make sense to visualize Big Data or should we just take a random sample?
Short answer: no, if you're trying to visualize data with tens of thousands of rows or more, Altair is probably not the right tool. But there are efforts in progress to add support for larger datasets in the vega ecosystem; see https://github.com/vega/scalable-vega.

Analyse audio files with Python

I actually have Photodiode connect to my PC an do capturing with Audacity.
I want to improve this by using an old RPI1 as dedicated test station. As result the shutter speed should appear on the console. I would prefere a python solution for getting signal an analyse it.
Can anyone give me some suggestions? I played around with oct2py, but i dont really under stand how to calculate the time between the two peak of the signal.
I have no expertise on sound analysis with Python and this is what I found doing some internet research as far as I am interested by this topic
pyAudioAnalysis for an eponym purpose
You an use pyAudioAnalysis developed by Theodoros Giannakopoulos
Towards your end, function mtFileClassification() from audioSegmentation.py can be a good start. This function
splits an audio signal to successive mid-term segments and extracts mid-term feature statistics from each of these sgments, using mtFeatureExtraction() from audioFeatureExtraction.py
classifies each segment using a pre-trained supervised model
merges successive fix-sized segments that share the same class label to larger segments
visualize statistics regarding the results of the segmentation - classification process.
For instance
from pyAudioAnalysis import audioSegmentation as aS
[flagsInd, classesAll, acc, CM] = aS.mtFileClassification("data/scottish.wav","data/svmSM", "svm", True, 'data/scottish.segments')
Note that the last argument of this function is a .segment file. This is used as ground-truth (if available) in order to estimate the overall performance of the classification-segmentation method. If this file does not exist, the performance measure is not calculated. These files are simple comma-separated files of the format: ,,. For example:
0.01,9.90,speech
9.90,10.70,silence
10.70,23.50,speech
23.50,184.30,music
184.30,185.10,silence
185.10,200.75,speech
...
If I have well understood your question this is at least what you want to generate isn't it ? I rather think you have to provide it there.
Most of these information are directly quoted from his wiki which I suggest you to read it. Yet don't hesitate to reach out as far as I am really interested by this topic
Other available libraries for audio analysis :

Get sound input & Find similar sound with Python

What I wanna do is just like 'Shazam' or 'SoundHound' with Python, only sound version, not music.
For example, when I make sound(e.g door slam), find the most similar sound data in the sound list.
I don't know you can understand that because my English is bad, but just imagine the sound version of 'Shazam'.
I know that 'Shazam' doesn't have open API.
Is there any api like 'Shazam'?
Or,
How can I implement it?
There are several libraries you can use, but none of them will classify a sample as a 'door shut' for example. BUT you can use those libraries for feature extraction and build/get a data set of sound, build a classifier, train it and use it for sound classification.
The libraries:
Friture - Friture is a graphical program designed to do time-frequency analysis on audio input in real-time. It provides a set of visualization widgets to display audio data, such as a scope, a spectrum analyser, a rolling 2D spectrogram.
LibXtract - LibXtract is a simple, portable, lightweight library of audio feature extraction functions. The purpose of the library is to provide a relatively exhaustive set of feature extraction primatives that are designed to be 'cascaded' to create a extraction hierarchies.
Yaafe - Yet Another Audio Feature Extractor is a toolbox for audio analysis. Easy to use and efficient at extracting a large number of audio features simultaneously. WAV and MP3 files supported, or embedding in C++, Python or Matlab applications.
Aubio - Aubio is a tool designed for the extraction of annotations from audio signals. Its features include segmenting a sound file before each of its attacks, performing pitch detection, tapping the beat and producing midi streams from live audio.
LibROSA - A python module for audio and music analysis. It is easy to use, and implements many commonly used features for music analysis.
If you do choose to use my advise as I mention above, I recommend on
scikit-learn as Machine Learning libraries. It contains a lot of classifiers you may want to use.
The problem here is that music has structure, while the sounds you want to find may have different signatures. Using the door as an example, the weight, size and material of the door alone will influence the types of acoustic signatures it will produce. If you want to search by similarity, a bag-of-features approach may be the easy(ish) way to go. However, there are different approaches, such as taking samples by a sliding window along the spectrogram of a sound, and trying to match (by similarity) with a previous sound you recorded, decomposition of the sound, etc...
