Feature Extraction Methods

Various feature extraction methods are implemented within MultiSens Analyzer. The available feature extraction methods also depend on the version of MultiSens Analyzer that you have licensed.

Feature Description Version
Area Calculates the area of the response curve above the baseline (= value of first measurement point).  Base
AreaAt Calculates the area of the response curve above a baseline. Allows to set start point, end point, and base line determination for the calculation.  Base
AreaMax Calculates the area of the response curve above the baseline (= value of first measurement point) from the first point to the point at which the maximum of the response is reached.  Base
Average Calculates the aveage of the response curve.  Base
Base Returns the baseline = value of the first measurement point.  Base
Base3 Returns the baseline = average of the first 3 measurement points.  Base
EndDev3 Returns the difference between the maximum of the response and the measurement point that occurred 3 points before the maximum.  Standard
EndDev5 Returns the difference between the maximum of the response and the measurement point that occurred 5 points before the maximum.  Standard
FindSig Returns the maximum deviation to the baseline that is found between the start point and the end point.
Start point, end point and the point where to determine the baseline can be set.
Additionally averaging can be set, which will average for the selected number of measurement points to calculate baseline and signal.
 Base
Max Returns the maximum of the response curve.  Base
Max-Min Returns the span of the response curve.  Base
MaxDev Returns the maximum derivative found in the response curve. The derivative is calculated by subtracting the predecessor point for each measurement point.  Base
Min Returns the minimum of the response curve.  Base
PascalScript Allows to write feature extraction algorithms in Pascal.  Professional
Sig/Base Returns the Signal divided by the baseline.
Signal is determined as the maximum deviation to the baseline in the response curve.
Baseline is determined as the value of the first measurement point.
 Base
Sig/Base3 Same as Sig/Base, but averages over 3 measurement points to determine signal and baseline.  Base
SigAt Returns the signal at a measurement point. The signal is calculated by subtracting the baseline (= first measurement point) from the selected measurement point.
Additionally averaging can be set, which will average for the selected number of measurement points to calculate baseline and signal.
 Base
SigAt-BaseAt Returns the difference of two measurement points in the response curve. Typically this is used to calculate a signal at a certain point by subtracting the baseline that is determined at another point.
Additionally averaging can be set, which will average for the selected number of measurement points to calculate baseline and signal.
 Base
Sig-Base Sig-Base is determined as the maximum deviation to the baseline in the response curve.
Baseline is determined as the value of the first measurement point.
 Base
Sig-Base3 Same as Sig-Base, but averages over 3 measurement points to determine signal and baseline.  Base
T3dB Returns the number of the measurement point, at which the signal has returned to 3dB (= 70%) of the maximum in the response curve after the maximum had been reached.
The signal is calculated by subtracting the baseline (= value of the first measurement point) from the value of each measurement point.
 Standard
T50 Returns the number of the measurement point, at which the signal has returned to 50% of the maximum in the response curve after the maximum had been reached.
The signal is calculated by subtracting the baseline (= value of the first measurement point) from the value of each measurement point.
 Standard
T90 Returns the number of the measurement point, at which the signal has returned to 90% of the maximum in the response curve after the maximum had been reached.
The signal is calculated by subtracting the baseline (= value of the first measurement point) from the value of each measurement point.
 Standard
TMax Returns the number of the measurement point, at which the maximum of the response is reached.  Base
W3dB Returns the number of measurement points from the T3dB point to the point after the maximum when the response curve has again fallen below 3dB (=70%) of the maximum.  Standard
