max and min in one cycle

2 views (last 30 days)
Hi everyone
I have a signal, I need to find max and min values for each cycle in this signal.
Let's say we have the signal A which has two cycles:
Signal=[0 -2 -3 -3.5 -3.25 -2.5 -1.75 -1 0 1 1.8 2.6 3.25 3.5 3.25 2.6 1.7 0 -2 -3 -3.5 -3.25 -2.5 -1.75 -1 0 1 1.8 2.6 3.25 3.5 3.25 2.6 1.7 0]
as shown in the attached picture.
I should get for the first cycle -3.5 and 3.25 and the same values for the second cycles.
Thank you in advance

Perhaps run findpeaks twice, once on Signal and once on -Signal

Thank you for your responding, But I think findpeaks gives us only one value for one signal, while what I want finding max and min values (two values) for the first cycle then the max and min (also two values) for the second cycle and keep going to the last cycle for one signal. Thanks

If you have the Image Processing Toolbox, you can do this:
props = regionprops(Signal < 0, Signal, 'MinIntensity');
minIntensities = [props.MinIntensity]
props = regionprops(Signal > 0, Signal, 'MaxIntensity');
maxIntensities = [props.MaxIntensity]
but I get 3.5 for the maxima. Why are you saying 3.25?

Yes my mistake it must be 3.5, and the code worked. Thank you so much.

[maxpk, maxloc] = findpeaks(Signal);
[minpk, minloc] = findpeaks(-Signal);
extremevals = [maxpk.', -minpk.'];
extremlocs = [maxloc.', minloc.'];
>> extremevals
extremevals =
3.5 -3.5
3.5 -3.5
>> extremlocs
extremlocs =
14 4
31 21
