Benefits of technology

"The patent describes a method for removing background noise from data collected from a spectrometer or chromatography. The method involves analyzing the data to determine the changes in intensity values between input points and identifying noise regions based on the distribution of these changes. The noise regions are then removed from the data to produce a cleaner signal. The method can be used with both smoothed and unsmoothed data and can detect spike noise regions as peaks with at least a certain threshold. The technical effect of this method is to improve the accuracy and reliability of data analysis, particularly in applications where background noise is a significant issue."

Problems solved by technology

However, background signals often inhere in spectroscopy data obtained from a target sample's spectrum, due to the sample's container, and “noises” or static produced by instrument response fluctuations, data transmission, and the like.
Background noise included in spectral data has a negative effect on most searching algorithms.

Abstract

Automatic background signal removal for input data, such as for spectrometry data, is provided. Input data includes input pixel points, such as those read by a CCD spectrometer of chromatography device, and intensity values corresponding to the data points. A distribution of changes in the intensity values between the data points is determined, and a noise level is judged by setting a threshold for the distribution. A noise region is identified as a predetermined number of consecutive input points for which the changes in the intensity values are within the noise level. Adjacent noise regions may be connected and the background signal is thus determined and subtracted. A spike noise region may also be identified and filtered, such that a peak obtained from fewer than a second predetermined number of the pixel points is determined as a spike, not a true peak. Non-spike large amplitude noises are optionally filtered.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present application relates to the utilization and display of spectroscopy data, chromatography data or other input data and to the automatic removal of background signals or noise from data of a target sample. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Spectroscopy is a widely applied analytical method for chemical and material analysis. However, background signals often inhere in spectroscopy data obtained from a target sample's spectrum, due to the sample's container, and “noises” or static produced by instrument response fluctuations, data transmission, and the like. [0003] Removing such background signals or noise from spectral data to reveal the true signal of the sample is very important for many qualitative and quantitative spectroscopic applications. For instance, background removal is useful before entering a spectrum into a database. This is often necessary for consistency, to make all spectra have a flat background. A flat background improves ov...
