Abstract

This paper presents a general method for rapid peak detection. First, the signals curve is equal divided and maximum and minima values in each segmentations are collected. The repeated maximum and minima values are removed and all fake peaks/ troughs are merged in the case of ensuring true peaks/ troughs remained. Experimental results showed that: compared with traditional methods, the proposed method is more accurate and faster in peak detection, and suitable for variety waveforms
