| Description | We discuss a full-scale treatment of real-life Raman spectra with pronounced artifacts via mathematical morphology: Baseline correction, peak recognition, and cosmic ray removal are provided using a single kernel. The suggested treatment is peak-oriented, and its novelty lies in utilization of contact points between a spectrum and its morphological mapping to provide robust peak recognition via low-order morphological operators. Reaching a compromise between complicated iterative processing and requiring tedious input from the user, the provided algorithms permit effective unsupervised evaluation of individual spectra as well as Raman maps and time or depth series. The method is demonstrated on SERS identification of selected designer drugs. |
