| 7 | Example:
|
|---|
| 8 | fl=linefinder()
|
|---|
| 9 | fl.set_scan(sc)
|
|---|
| 10 | fl.set_options(threshold=3)
|
|---|
| 11 | nlines=fl.find_lines(edge=(50,0))

|
|---|
| 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.
