selecting and extracting contiguous points as one event

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
I'm sure there is probably a drop-dead simple way to do this, but my brain is fried at the moment and I can't think of one. I'm trying to identify and count numbers of events that exceed a certain value in a time series. For example, a plot of the attached file yields:Picture1.png
I'd like to be able to count the number of events that exceed the red line (y=0.13). Sometimes there is 1 point > 0.13 (e.g. the first event above at x=40) and that is easy to count as a single signal. But sometimes there are 2 or more contiguous points > 0.13 (e.g. the second event above, at x=56, 57), yet should be counted as just one "event", not as 2 events.
How can this be done? I've attached a file with the above signal.

let a - your data - vector.
out = sum(diff([0;a(:) > .13]) == 1);

tt = linspace(0,12,1001);
s= sin(tt);
th = 0.4;
nnz(diff(s-th));
dd = [0,diff((s-th)>0)>0.5];
plot(tt,s,tt,dd);
grid('on');
nnz(dd)

Thanks, nanren888! I'm having trouble applying your solution to a matrix of numbers (such as the excel spreadsheet that was attached with my Q) instead of a mathematical function such as the sin wave you show. sorry, I'm not as advanced as you are.

If you have the Image Processing Toolbox, the simplest way is to just use the function that was made to do exactly that: bwlabel
[~, numRegions] = bwlabel(signal > 0.13);
Can't get any easier than that.

Thanks, Image Analyst! I will investigate whether I can get the Image Processing Toolbox. In any case, the answer by Andrei Bobrov also worked well.
I appreciate this help.
