Can pressure values calibrated to physical units (kPa/N)? #2

Description

@SojeongKim-42

Hi, Authors.

I want to use OpenTouch as a validation dataset that requires in-the-wild RGB paired with calibrated pressure (kPa/N).
However, I found that the right_pressure arrays contain integer values in the range 0-3072 rather than physical units, so I'd like to confirm whether these can be converted.

Example (eat_ygf_p1.hdf5, data/demo_04):
right_pressure: (191, 16, 16) float32 min=0 max=3072 mean=2955

Questions:

  1. Are the released pressure values raw ADC/readout counts, or already processed (e.g., resistance-converted) before being saved to HDF5?
  2. Is there a conversion formula or lookup table mapping these values to kPa or N? If it's not public, could you share it or point to where it lives in the repo?
  3. Sec. D.6 mentions a "calibrated 0.02-50kPa" range (Murphy et al. 2025). Was this calibration applied to the released HDF5 values, or does it characterize the sensor material independently of the deployed glove's readout pipeline?

Absolute pressure magnitude(N or kPa) is essential for my use case, so any guidance on converting these values to physical units would be very helpful. Thanks!
