Surprised to see that noise-variance only changed by a factor of 10, not 100. However, the resulting noise_variance is right in the range that you'd expect arising from pixel-grid rasterization error.

OU perturb-scale is lower than in the last case, and perturb position and rate variance is lower, too.

SqExp perturb-scale is higher than in the last case, and perturb rate variance is lower.

Lower position and rate variance makes sense after correcting curve-reversals.

However, since we trimmed the pre-tails, a higher global and perturb position variance should result. The result we're seeing is a combination of these competing effects.

Reconstructions

Some curves are flipped; need to an approach that will detect and correct flipped curves.

Detecting and Flipping Curves

Experiment: ../experiments/exp_2013_08_11_flip_curves.m

Result: doesn't really work. Lots of false negatives.

Algorithm output: 2 4 5 6 8 10 12 Ground Truth: 1 2 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 14 15

Not really sure why this is failing. After flipping, most of these curves are closer to the origin, which is promoted by position_variance. And any tip-perturbations should be better modelled after flipping.
