Abstract:
1. A local maxima detection system, the system comprising: an interface configured to receive at least one array of available candidate hits, each hit including a location in N dimensions and a power value, the array of candidate hits being sorted based on the power value; a neighboring hits processor configured to, for each candidate hit of the array, identify a plurality of neighboring hits of the candidate hit in the array of available candidate hits; a candidate hit removal processor configured to remove a subset of the plurality of neighboring hits within an isolation region about the candidate hit from the array of available candidate hits; a vector collapsing processor configured to represent the location of the neighboring hits relative to the location of the candidate hit in a 1-dimensional location array; a vector masking processor configured to generate a mask using a 1-dimensional description of at least the isolation region; and the vector masking processor configured to apply the mask to the 1-dimensional location array, the mask removing neighboring hits within the isolation region about the candidate hit from the 1-dimensional location array and the array of available candidate hits.
