Abstract:

In order to effectively improve the accuracy of extreme value detection of weak photoelectric signal, through the analysis of the change rules of signals measured, a filtering algorithm for the extremum detection of the target signals with high precision was proposed, and the solutions to the signal detection under ideal conditions and strong interference conditions were also discussed. Firstly, in this algorithm, an improved dynamic threshold method was used to obtain the initial extremum data. Then the acquisition value was filtered by the combination of two kinds of filtering method, which were the median absolute deviation based moving filtering and the weighted average filtering. Finally, the extreme value of the signal was obtained. The test results show that the measurement results of the algorithm are consistent with the actual value, the minimum average relative error is controlled at about 0.1%, which meets the accuracy requirement. The accuracy and stability of this algorithm are higher than those of the traditional method. The research provides a certain reference for the high accurate measurement of peak and trough values of weak signals with different waveform.
