How to measure overlap area of peaks from different signals

9 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi All, I wonder if there is a simple way to solve the following problem. There are two time-series signals S1 and S2 from two sensors and the signals were collected by the same frequency and time scale. If there are n peaks in S1 and m peaks in S2, how much area of peaks in S1 is overlapped with peaks in S2? Thanks in advance! Wenlong

I’m not quite certain what you want, but if you want the total overlap of the peak areas, use trapz (or cumtrapz) and subtract:
% Create Data:
pk = @(m,s,x) exp(-(x-m).^2./s); % Create peaks with centre=m, width=s
x= linspace(0,20);
s1 = pk(5,2,x) + pk(11,3,x) + pk(17,2,x);
s2 = pk(7,2,x) + pk(12,2,x) + pk(15,2,x);
% Integrate, Then Subtract:
Is1 = cumtrapz(x,s1);
Is2 = cumtrapz(x,s2);
Isd = Is1 - Is2;
figure(3)
plot(x,Isd)
grid
The final value of ‘Isd’ is the difference in the areas of the peaks between the two data vectors, ‘s1’ and ‘s2’.
Is this what you want to do?

Hi Wenlong,
You didn't explain the problem in detail, so you probably looking for an idea.
What I understood and I would do is:
1- Define what's the accepted signal level as a peak (you may wanna use FWHM or any preferred definition), lets call it "threshold".
2- peakAreaS1 = S1 > threshold;
3- peakAreaS3 = S2 > threshold;
4 - overlapedArea = peakAreaS1 & peakAreaS2;
Hopefully this is a good enough hint.
Good luck!
