What is peak detection algorithm?

A new automatic peak detection algorithm is developed and applied to histogram-based image data reduction (quantization). The algorithm uses a peak detection signal derived either from the image histogram or the cumulative distribution function to locate the peaks in the image histogram.

How to detect peak in matlab?

Use findpeaks with default settings to find the peaks of the signal and their locations. [pks,locs] = findpeaks(PeakSig,x); Plot the peaks using findpeaks and label them. Sort the peaks from tallest to shortest.
