Figure 3

Application of the second method on the cases of fig. 2. Red and blue dots are, respectively, above and below hl and ll (marked by a black line). Herein the first two peaks are considered artifacts and are ignored in the computation of ha. Furthermore, only five peaks are used to determine initial ha (red line) and peaks below the 60-th are supposed to be background and used to compute la (blue line). Notice the variety of cases according to the ratio between ha and la. The green line represents a tentative threshold based on the ratio between ha and la.
