Fast AFM force curve peaks detector algorithm
...It is great tool for entry level, automated analisys, to discard empty and junk curves and save only ones matching required criteria. Assuming that only 1% of data is worth reviewing, and that manual selection takes approx. 3 seconds per curve, you can save up to 8 hours per every 10000 curves (like 2 days every week!). Force amplitude analisys for single curve takes from 1 to 4 milliseconds on low-end intel dual core.
Algorithm is so simple, that you can implement it in any language in few hours, without any specialized libraries.
To be implemented in our Nanopuller AFM control software as real-time module.
