Removing unwanted peaks from signal

I have a signal which looks something like: The 12 main round peaks is what I'd like to keep. However, the peak detection algorithm I apply is picking up the in-between noisy peaks. Any strategies ...

Peak location estimation for a triangle wave in AGWN?

Is there a more optimal peak location estimator specifically for triangle waves in AGWN, compared with peak estimation for generic waveforms? For a "smooth" waveform in noise, a common peak locator ...

Is up-sampling prior to cross-correlation useless?

Consider a simple case where two signals from two different sensors are cross-correlated, and the time-delay-of-arrival computed from the absissa of the peak of their cross-correlation function. Now ...

How do I use a Savitzky Golay filter to find local maxima (in between samples) in a discretely sampled 1D signal?

I have a seismic signal y(i): Here I have found one maximum: i=152.54, y=222.29 manually and plotted it in red. I want to find all maxima automatically. I read that the Savitzky Golay Filter (SGF) ...

Finding local peaks in-between samples

I have n discrete samples of a seismic signal y[n]: I want to find local maxima in the signal. A naive test for if y[n] is a maximum would be: y[n]: maxima if y[n] > y[n-1] and y[n] > y[n+1]. ...

Derivative calculation

I have a series of data (single array). If I take this data and plot it, I can see that there are multiple peaks. However If I zoom in to a section of data, I see that there is substantial noise. I ...
