Abstract:
1. A method for identifying a main peak value in an array of peak values where a plot of the peak values against offsets corresponding to each peak value shows a peak value having a largest magnitude between peak values on either side of the largest peak value and substantially linear patterns formed by the peak values right and left of the largest peak value, the method comprising: generating, by a processor, a right line by a first order curve fit using at least one peak value to the right of the largest peak value and the largest peak value, the right line having a right slope and a right intercept; generating, by the processor, a left line by a first order curve fit using at least one peak value to the left of the largest peak value and the largest peak value, the left line having a left slope and a left intercept; identifying, by the processor, a predicted peak value by identifying an intersection point on a timeline formed by the offsets at which the right line intersects the left line; and identifying, by the processor, the largest peak value as the main peak value if the predicted peak value is within a predefined interval around the largest peak value.
