The detection threshold is a key analysis parameter. It affects several aspects of how the tool interprets your telemetry data:
- Start-of-corner detection
- End-of-corner detection
- Corner length calculation
- Distances between corners (and therefore corner linking)
🔽 Lowering the threshold
Reducing the threshold will:
- Allow detection of corners with smaller amplitudes (e.g., fast, sweeping turns)
- Result in longer measured corner lengths, which may reduce precision
🔼 Increasing the threshold
Raising the threshold will:
- Filter out subtle steering changes by ignoring low-amplitude inputs
- Improve separation between corners, creating clearer individual detections
✅ Recommended Setting
The default value of 10 degrees provides a balanced compromise, working well with standard corner lengths, link thresholds, and distances.
You can adjust this setting based on your specific needs:
-
Decrease the value to make detection more sensitive, which helps identify minor or fast corners.
-
Increase the value slightly if nearby corners are being grouped together and detected as a single corner.
Lowering the detection threshold doesn’t always lead to better results or higher-quality notes. In some cases, a higher threshold can be more effective. Detecting very low-intensity corners may cause issues, such as difficulty distinguishing between consecutive, closely spaced corners.
📌 Note: Raw steering data is pre-processed — it’s down-sampled and filtered to reduce signal noise near the threshold level and to improve performance.
