Abstract
An improved method for integrating curve peaks as compared to techniques such as the trapezoidal rule wherein integration parameters are at fixed x-axis positions. Integration parameters are instead specified relative to a peak center, which allows the peak to shift over time due to hardware changes, temperature fluctuation, pressure changes, etc., while maintaining integration parameters at optimal locations for that peak. As such, the present disclosure finds particular utility in spectroscopy wherein, in the case of Raman spectroscopy, for example, specific wavenumber shift locations may drift over time, leading to inaccurate results based upon absolute integration parameters.
