Some test for Top-hat filter

1. Peak standard deviation:
    Set the peak std for 1, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20. After std=10, the signals are difficult to identify.



2. Noise:
    Set different noise for 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The peaks are hard to identify from 75% noise.


3. Different THF signal window:
    Set the noise to 100% and use the different signal window to identify the signal. The result shows the wider window can improve the peak identification.

Summary:
The THF can help us to identify the weak signal from the high exponential background. It is noted that the S/N ratio would affect the THF result. If we want to identify the rare element in the material, we may use the high S/N ratio spectrum for applying THF or using the large signal window for noisy data.

Top hat filter

The top_hat filter can be used to detect the relatively small edges/peaks superimposed on large background signals. The concept came from the EELS workshop during IMC19. Thanks to Prof. Nestor J. Zaluzec. -- // Using Top_hat digital filter to detect the  relatively small edges  //    superimposed on large background signals. // // ref: Ultramicroscopy 18 (1985) 185-190  //      Digital Filters  for Application to Data Analysis in EELS //      by Nestor J.

HyperSpy - read the calibration information in a dm3/dm4 file

Some example of dm3 file reading by using Python HyperSpy package, which can read the detail information of the dm file. -- # import packages import numpy as np import hyperspy.api as hs # load file sp=hs.load('sp.dm3') # Read the axis information      # Print all the calibration detail print(sp.axes_manager) ''' <Axes manager, axes: (272|2042)>             Name |   size |  index |  offset |   scale |  units  ================ | ======= | ====== | ======= | ======= | ======                     x |    272 |      0 |       -0 |  0.0025 |     µm   --------------- |  ------ | ----- |  ------ | ------- | ------    Energy loss |  2042 |         | 3.2e+02 |       1 |     eV...

MLLS in matlab

MLLS stands for  multiple linear least squares fitting, which is the common strategy for the solving EELS edge overlapping and which is also built-in the GMS software. The target spectrum Y and the reference spectrum X Y = A * X Assuming Y is 1*256 matrix and we have three reference spectrums, ie, X is 3*256 matrix. So A is 1*3 matrix. The target is to solve A. If Y and X are n*n matrices, we can use the simple formula Y * inv(X) = A * X * inv(X), ie., A = Y * inv(X). However, Y and X are not n*n  matrices, it is necessary to have some trick to solve it. We can multiply the transpose matrix to produce n*n matrix. Y * X' = A * X * X'  (ps X' means the transpose matrix of X) so A = Y * X' * inv(X * X') Here is the Matlab code: =========  % create target spectrum x=0:256; c=[90,120,155]; sig=[5,10,8]; int=[5,10,8]; xn=zeros(size(x)); ref=zeros(length(c),length(x)); factor=rand(size(c))'; for i=1:length(c)     xn=xn+int(i)*ex...
