ALIGNPEAKS calibrates a wavelength scale using standard peak positions. Ideally, the axis scale x0 would apply to a single instrument at time ''t'' = 0 and ''t'' > 0 or for two different instruments.

Purpose

Calibrates wavelength scale using standard peaks.

Synopsis

s = alignpeaks(x0,x1,ax,options)
y = alignpeaks(s,y1)

Description

ALIGNPEAKS calibrates a wavelength scale using standard peak positions. Ideally, the axis scale x0 would apply to a single instrument at time t = 0 and t > 0 or for two different instruments. However, x1 at t > 0 doesn't typically match x0 at t = 0 even though the numbers in the scales are identical. The result is that a plot of (x0,y0) and (x0,y1) appear shifted from one another.

The inputs to ALIGNPEAKS are x0 a 1xK vector containing the axis locations of K peaks on the standard instrument at t = 0 (e.g., the true wavelengths), x1 a 1xK vector containing the axis locations of the corresponding peaks on the field / test instrument at t > 0 (e.g., the peak positions on the field instrument), and ax a 1xN vector containing the axis scale where N > K. ALIGNPEAKS finds a polynomial fit between x0 and x1 and outputs the result in the structure array s. The output y is a fit of x1.

Options

Optional input options is a structure array with the following fields:

  • name: 'options', name indicating that this is an options structure,
  • plots: [ 'none' | {'final'} ] governs level of plotting, and
  • order: [ {2} ] integer giving the polynomial order.

Executing options = alignpeaks('options'); gives an empty options structure.

Example

A measurements at t = 0 gives a spectrum y0 with axis ax, and measurements at t > 0 of the same sample yields a spectrum y1 with the same axis ax but with peaks shifted. Therefore

plot(ax,y0,'b',ax,y1,'r')

shows a shift in the peaks. The peak positions at t = 0 are listed in x0 and the peak positions at t > 0 are listed in x1. The polynomial fit is given by

s = alignpeaks(x0,x1,ax);

and the transformed spectrum is obtained with

y10 = alignpeaks(s,y1);

so that

plot(ax,y0,'b',ax,y1,'r')

shows less of a peak shift. See alignpeaksdemo.
