| 7 | Example: |
---|
| 8 | fl=linefinder() |
---|
[907] | 9 | fl.set_scan(sc) |
---|
[370] | 10 | fl.set_options(threshold=3) |

[516] | 17 | sc2=sc.poly_baseline(fl.get_mask(),7) |
---|
[880] | 18 | |
---|
[370] | 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 |
---|
[880] | 28 | bad baseline shapes it is recommended to increase the threshold and |
---|
[370] | 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 |
---|
[880] | 31 | search. |
