5 | The class for automated spectral line search in ASAP.

7 | Example:
|
---|
8 | fl=linefinder()
|
---|
9 | fl.set_scan(sc)
|
---|
10 | fl.set_options(threshold=3)
|
---|

16 | print "No lines found!"
|
---|
17 | sc2=sc.poly_baseline(fl.get_mask(),7)
|
---|
18 |
|
---|
19 | The algorithm involves a simple threshold criterion. The line is
|
---|
20 | considered to be detected if a specified number of consequtive
|
---|
21 | channels (default is 3) is brighter (with respect to the current baseline
|
---|
22 | estimate) than the threshold times the noise level. This criterion is
|
---|
23 | applied in the iterative procedure updating baseline estimate and trying
|
---|
24 | reduced spectral resolutions to detect broad lines as well. The off-line
|
---|
25 | noise level is determined at each iteration as an average of 80% of the
|
---|
26 | lowest variances across the spectrum (i.e. histogram equalization is
|
---|
27 | used to avoid missing weak lines if strong ones are present). For
|
---|
28 | bad baseline shapes it is recommended to increase the threshold and
|
---|
29 | possibly switch the averaging option off (see set_options) to
|
---|
30 | detect strong lines only, fit a high order baseline and repeat the line
|
---|
31 | search.
