What's your definition of peak here? And "length of peak"? Have you tried thresholding and scanning across columns to see what line the blue line is at?

Obviously you should be doing some background leveling. And then because your line is broken, you'll need to do some outlier removal and correction. But I still have no idea what you mean by peak length.
