1eurofilter

1€ filter typescript version

Provides a typescript implementation for the 1€ filter.

Install

npm install 1eurofilter

Minimal example

import {OneEuroFilter} from '1eurofilter'

let frequency = 120; // Hz
let mincutoff = 1.0; // Hz
let beta = 0.1;      
let dcutoff = 1.0; 

let f = new OneEuroFilter(frequency, mincutoff, beta, dcutoff);

let noisyvalue = 2.1;
let timestamp = 0.0; // in seconds

let filtered = f.filter(noisyvalue, timestamp);

constructor

• new OneEuroFilter(freq, mincutoff, beta, dcutoff)

Constructs a 1 euro filter.

Parameters

Name	Type	Default value	Description
freq	number	undefined	An estimate of the frequency in Hz of the signal (> 0), if timestamps are not available.
mincutoff	number	1.0	Min cutoff frequency in Hz (> 0). Lower values allow to remove more jitter.
beta	number	0.0	Parameter to reduce latency (> 0).
dcutoff	number	1.0	Used to filter the derivates. 1 Hz by default. Change this parameter if you know what you are doing.

filter

▸ filter(value, timestamp): number

Returns the filtered value.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
value	number	Noisy value to filter
timestamp	number	(optional) timestamp in seconds

reset

▸ reset(): void

Resets the internal state of the filter.

setBeta

▸ setBeta(beta): void

Sets the Beta parameter

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
beta	number	Parameter to reduce latency (> 0).

setDerivateCutoff

▸ setDerivateCutoff(dcutoff): void

Sets the dcutoff parameter

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
dcutoff	number	Used to filter the derivates. 1 Hz by default. Change this parameter if you know what you are doing.

setFrequency

▸ setFrequency(freq): void

Sets the frequency of the signal

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
freq	number	An estimate of the frequency in Hz of the signal (> 0), if timestamps are not available.

setMinCutoff

▸ setMinCutoff(mincutoff): void

Sets the filter min cutoff frequency

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
mincutoff	number	Min cutoff frequency in Hz (> 0). Lower values allow to remove more jitter.

setParameters

▸ setParameters(freq, mincutoff, beta): void

Sets the parameters of the 1 euro filter.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
freq	number	An estimate of the frequency in Hz of the signal (> 0), if timestamps are not available.
mincutoff	number	Min cutoff frequency in Hz (> 0). Lower values allow to remove more jitter.
beta	number	Parameter to reduce latency (> 0).
