Locating Curve Peak Magnitude and Peak Point Abscissa Coordinates

In this analysis, we need to determine both the magnitude of curve peaks and their corresponding x-coordinates. The peak magnitude serves as an indicator of signal strength, while the peak point's x-coordinate helps determine signal arrival time. These parameters enable more accurate data analysis and informed decision-making. To clearly represent this information, we can implement graphical annotations using programming approaches. For instance, we can create line plots with annotated peak markers using functions like MATLAB's findpeaks() or Python's scipy.signal.find_peaks(). These functions employ algorithms that detect local maxima by comparing each point with its neighbors while considering threshold parameters like minimum peak height and prominence. The implementation typically involves: 1. Loading or generating the signal data array 2. Applying peak detection algorithms with appropriate parameters 3. Extracting peak values and their indices (x-coordinates) 4. Creating visualization with markers highlighting peak positions 5. Adding annotations displaying numerical values for each detected peak Through such graphical representations, we can intuitively understand data characteristics and trends, leading to better interpretation and explanation of results. The visualization might include vertical lines marking peak positions, text labels showing exact values, and different marker styles distinguishing between primary and secondary peaks.
