在计算拓扑学中，持久同调的思想导致一个有效的 -快如排序数字-解决方案。它不仅检测峰值，还以一种自然的方式量化峰值的“重要性”，使您能够选择对您重要的峰值。

算法的总结。 在一维设置(时间序列，实值信号)中，算法可以简单地描述为下图:

Think of the function graph (or its sub-level set) as a landscape and consider a decreasing water level starting at level infinity (or 1.8 in this picture). While the level decreases, at local maxima islands pop up. At local minima these islands merge together. One detail in this idea is that the island that appeared later in time is merged into the island that is older. The "persistence" of an island is its birth time minus its death time. The lengths of the blue bars depict the persistence, which is the above mentioned "significance" of a peak.

效率。 在对函数值进行排序之后，找到一个在线性时间内运行的实现并不难——实际上它是一个单一的、简单的循环。因此，这种实现在实践中应该是快速的，也很容易实现。

下面是在同一个数据集上的测试，它产生的图与R/Matlab的原始答案相同

# Data

       2.6,4,3,3.2,2,1,1,0.8,4,4,2,2.5,1,1,1])

# Settings: lag = 30, threshold = 5, influence = 0
lag = 30
threshold = 5
influence = 0

# Run algo with settings from above
result = thresholding_algo(y, lag=lag, threshold=threshold, influence=influence)

# Plot result
pylab.subplot(211)
pylab.plot(np.arange(1, len(y)+1), y)

pylab.plot(np.arange(1, len(y)+1),
           result["avgFilter"], color="cyan", lw=2)

pylab.plot(np.arange(1, len(y)+1),
           result["avgFilter"] + threshold * result["stdFilter"], color="green", lw=2)

pylab.plot(np.arange(1, len(y)+1),
           result["avgFilter"] - threshold * result["stdFilter"], color="green", lw=2)

pylab.subplot(212)
pylab.step(np.arange(1, len(y)+1), result["signals"], color="red", lw=2)
pylab.ylim(-1.5, 1.5)
pylab.show()

不需要将极大值与平均值进行比较，还可以将极大值与相邻的最小值进行比较，其中最小值仅定义在噪声阈值之上。 如果局部最大值是>的3倍(或其他置信因子)相邻的最小值，那么这个最大值就是一个峰值。 移动窗口越宽，峰值的确定越准确。 上面使用了以窗口中间为中心的计算， 顺便说一下，而不是在窗口结束时计算(== lag)。

请注意，最大值必须被视为信号之前的增加 之后下降。

下面是@Jean-Paul为Arduino微控制器设计的平滑z分数的C语言实现，用于获取加速度计读数，并判断撞击的方向是来自左边还是右边。这表现得非常好，因为这个设备返回一个反弹信号。这是设备对峰值检测算法的输入-显示了来自右边的冲击，然后是来自左边的冲击。你可以看到最初的峰值然后传感器的振荡。

她的结果是影响= 0

不是很好，但这里的影响力= 1

这很好。
