algorithm - Determine offset where the most constructive interference occurs -
i have 2 arrays of data:
i align these similar graphs (by adding offset either array):
essentially want constructive interference, shown when 2 waves produce same wave larger amplitude:
this same finding destructive interference, 1 of arrays must inverted shown:
notice second wave inverted (peaks become troughs / vice-versa).
the actual data not consist of 1 major , 1 minor peak , trough, of many, , there might not noticeable spikes. have made data in diagram simpler show how data aligned.
i thinking few loops, such as:
biggest = 0 loop -10 10 offset count = 0 loop through array1 ar1 loop through array2 ar2 count += array1[ar1] + array2[ar2 - offset] replace biggest count if count/sizeof(array1) > biggest
however, requires looping through offset , looping through both arrays. real array definitions extremely large , would take long.
how go determining offset required match data1 data2?
jsfiddle (note language agnostic , understand algorithm more-so actual code)
look @ convolution , cross-correlation computation using fast fourier transformation. it's way how done in real life applications.
