What is peak detection algorithm?

A new automatic peak detection algorithm is developed and applied to histogram-based image data reduction (quantization). The algorithm uses a peak detection signal derived either from the image histogram or the cumulative distribution function to locate the peaks in the image histogram.

How do you find the peak of a time series?

Find the start and the end by comparing the current value to the median, i.e. if the current value is smaller than the median but the next one is bigger, a peak starts. The opposite is valid for the end, if the current value is higher than the median but the next one is smaller, it's the end.

How do you find the spectral peak?

For a particular spectral peak, the dichroic ratio R is defined by the relationshipR = A⊥/A∥where A⊥ and A∥ are the absorption of the LB films when the light is polarized perpendicular or parallel to the dipping direction, respectively.
