Supplementary Data supporting "Obstacle avoidance in aerial pursuit" by Caroline H. Brighton, James A. Kempton, Lydia A. France, Marco KleinHeerenbrink, Sofía Miñano, and Graham K. Taylor. Published in Current Biology (2023). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2023.06.047. The zipped folder SupplementaryData.zip contains the following data files, which are readable in MATLAB (The Mathworks Inc., Natick, MA, USA) and Excel (Microsoft Inc. Redmond, WA, USA). Please see the paper for definitions and descriptions.flightsOF.matThis MATLAB workspace contains data on n=231 flights without obstacles comprising the n=128 obstacle-free training flights (flights OF001 to OF128), and the n=103 obstacle-free test flights (flights OF129 to OF231). The data are contained in the following arrays:birdPosUpsampled - [X, Y, 0] horizontal position of bird; 20 kHz spline fitbirdVelupsampled - [U, V, 0] horizontal velocity of bird; 20 kHz spline fitlurePosUpsampled - [X, Y, 0] horizontal position of lure; 20 kHz spline fitlureVelupsampled - [U, V, 0] horizontal velocity of lure; 20 kHz spline fitflightsWO.matThis MATLAB workspace contains data on n=155 flights with obstacles, including the n=154 obstacle test flights (flights WO001 to WO155 excluding flight WO119). The data are contained in the following arrays:birdPosUpsampled - [X, Y, 0] horizontal position of bird; 20 kHz spline fitbirdVelupsampled - [U, V, 0] horizontal velocity of bird; 20 kHz spline fitlurePosUpsampled - [X, Y, 0] horizontal position of lure; 20 kHz spline fitlureVelupsampled - [U, V, 0] horizontal velocity of lure; 20 kHz spline fitobstaclesPos - [f, X, Y, Z] XYZ positions of all obstacle markers identified in each frame (f)modelFitsSummary.xlsxThis Excel spreadsheet contains summaries of the fitted models referred to in the main text, with flights numbered according to the scheme above.
