The two-step peak picking process used by the two available peak picking methods: (A) This plot is a zoom-in to a small part of a spectrum. In the first step, one-dimensional spectral peaks are detected in each spectrum alone. Green dots over the spectrum show the locations of detected spectral peaks. (B) This plot is a zoom-in to a small fragment of two-dimensional view of raw data. Black lines show two-dimensional peaks created by connecting successive spectral peaks. Peak height is calculated as the highest intensity among these data points, while the peak area corresponds to the sum of the intensities.
