Detailed Description

This class implements baseline filtering operations using methods from mathematical morphology.

The fundamental operations are erosion and dilation. These are defined with respect to a structuring element. In our case, this is just a straight line and the definitions can be given as follows:

Assume that the input is \(x_0, x_1, x_2, ...\). Then the erosion of \(x\) contains the minima of a sliding window of size struc_size around \( i \), i.e.

\[ \mathrm{erosion}_i = \min\{x_{i-\mathrm{struc\_size}/2}, \ldots, x_{i+\mathrm{struc\_size}/2}\} \]

. The dilation of \(x\) contains the maxima of a sliding window of size struc_size around \( i \), i.e.

\[ \mathrm{dilation}_i = \max\{x_{i-\mathrm{struc\_size}/2}, \ldots, x_{i+\mathrm{struc\_size}/2}\} \]

.

For morphological baseline filtering the tophat method is used. The tophat transform is defined as signal minus opening, where the opening is the dilation of the erosion of the signal.

Several other morphological operations are implemented as well. See the image below and the documentation for further explanation.

Note: The class MorphologicalFilter is designed for uniformly spaced profile data.; The data must be sorted according to ascending m/z!

Parameters of this class are:

Name	Type	Default	Restrictions	Description
struc_elem_length	float	3.0		Length of the structuring element. This should be wider than the expected peak width.
struc_elem_unit	string	Thomson	Thomson, DataPoints	The unit of the 'struct_elem_length'.
method	string	tophat	identity, erosion, dilation, opening, closing, gradient, tophat, bothat, erosion_simple, dilation_simple	Method to use, the default is 'tophat'. Do not change this unless you know what you are doing. The other methods may be useful for tuning the parameters, see the class documentation of MorpthologicalFilter.

		OutputIterator	output_begin
	)

inlineprotected

Applies erosion. Simple implementation, possibly faster if struc_size is very small, and used in some special cases.

◆ filter()

void filter ( MSSpectrum & spectrum )

inline

Applies the morphological filtering operation to an MSSpectrum.

If the size of the structuring element is given in 'Thomson', the number of data points for the structuring element is computed as follows:

The data points are assumed to be uniformly spaced. We compute the average spacing from the position of the first and the last peak and the total number of peaks in the input range.
The number of data points in the structuring element is computed from struc_size and the average spacing, and rounded up to an odd number.

References OpenMS::Internal::intensityIteratorWrapper(), OpenMS::Math::isOdd(), SpectrumSettings::PROFILE, and SpectrumSettings::setType().

◆ filterExperiment()

void filterExperiment ( PeakMap & exp )

inline

Applies the morphological filtering operation to an MSExperiment.

The size of the structuring element is computed for each spectrum individually, if it is given in 'Thomson'. See the filtering method for MSSpectrum for details.

References MSExperiment::size().

◆ filterRange()

void filterRange	(	InputIterator	input_begin,
		InputIterator	input_end,
		OutputIterator	output_begin
	)

inline

Applies the morphological filtering operation to an iterator range.

Input and output range must be valid, i.e. allocated before. InputIterator must be a random access iterator type.

Parameters

input_begin	the begin of the input range
input_end	the end of the input range
output_begin	the begin of the output range

Exceptions

Exception::IllegalArgument The given method is not one of the values defined in the method parameter.
