Logs

As loads of things are running in process it is quite simple for something to go wrong. For this reason a log file is implemented that gets saved into the output_dir. If the desired result is unexpected these logs can be investigated to find out what and where something went wrong.

Keypoint matching example:

2018/07/05/ 12:31:40 | INFO | ---- Match Keypoints Over Multiple Frames ----
2018/07/05/ 12:31:40 | DEBUG | New Person:            Frame 276
2018/07/05/ 12:31:40 | DEBUG | Omit Person:           Presence Percentage 0.01
