This is a program deconvolving peaks from a signal, typically required in spectroscopy, but also useful for general curve fitting. It has a simple user interface to load signal files, control deconvolution parameters, and track progress:
It uses Non-Linear Least-Squares Minimization and Curve-Fitting, and produces results as text files and pdf figures, e.g.:
In the example above, signal was given as input, and the program was set up to deconvolve
the last visible peak into 6 distinct Gaussians. The plot includes fit, which is a sum of detected
components, i.e.
This program is written in Python and requires it to run! It was developed and tested using Python 3.11.4
on Mac OS but it will also run on Windows and Linux.
First, install Brew package manager:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
, then install the required system dependencies:
brew install python python-tk poetry
The easiest way to run and develop this project is by installing dependencies with Poetry:
poetry install
, and then running the GUI:
poetry run python gui.py
, or a CLI:
poetry run python src/logic/ellipses.py
Also, you can test the source code by:
poetry run python -m unittest discover -v -s src/tests
Happy Deconvolving!
