How to filter data that detects peaks or irregularities?

26 views (last 30 days)
I am trying to build a code that detects these peaks. This graph represents the change in position in time. What I am doing is read the distance timestep by timestep.
I compare the new distance minus the old distance, if this values difference is higher than 5 meters I assume theres a peak. The problem is that each dataset have undefined number of peaks and undefined number of green datasets to save.
How can I solve this?

Several functions already exist to do that, among which are findpeaks, islocalmax, ischange, and others.

Do you have R2017b or later?
Note: No data to analyse.

Mariana, make it easy for people to help you, not hard. Attach your data in a .mat file with the paper clip icon after you read this link.
