How can I find a turning point or inflection point on the curve?

I have encountered a problem, is seeking a turning point or inflection point on the curve.
The curve is monotonically increasing (slope is essentially the same); the slope tends to 0 after the turning point. Because of the curve is not actually a straight line, so the derivative of point by point seems comparison difficult.
First, I intercepted two new curves from the curve.  One with monotonically increasing slope and another with remained constant slope. And I transform the two new curves to two absolutely straight with “regression” filter. Then find the intersection point of two absolutely straight. Through the X coordinate of the intersection point to find the corresponding Y value on the curve.Turning point is (x, y).
However, this method can only be used for a fixed curve. Because the range of the intercept values ​​need to give the range, if the new changes in the overall length of the curve, the value of this range may no longer apply.
My question is:  Is there a better way, or Diadem functions associated itself can solve this problem?
Any of your ideas and suggestions is important to me, thanks very much.
Best Regards

Hi J. Huang,
I would recommend the following generic approach, based on the pictures you submitted:
1)  Create a smoothed channel from the raw data curve to remove random variations
2)  Calculate a derivative/slope channel from the smoothed channel
3)  Use the ChnFind() function to find the points where...
        the slope is close to zero
        the slope is positive
        the raw data is positive
        the raw data is close to the maximum channel value

  • Cs6 , how can i add a anchor point in the curve in the channel Red or Green?

    Hi
    how can i add an anchor point in the curve in the Channel R / G and B?
    in cs5 , with ctrl + click i was able to click on the image and add an anchor point in the curve channel RGB
    and with shift +ctrl + click i was able to click on the image and add an anchor poing in the channel Red , 1 in the channel Green  and 1 in the channel blue
    i know cs6 doesn't have any more ctrl+mouse click , there is the targeted adjustamanent tool
    i can do it with ctrl+m and call the curve
    but i can't do it with curve adjustament tool
    is there a way to add a anchor point in each channel red , green and blue (like the prev photoshop)?
    thanks

    thanks that's correct! thanks
    but it's not 100% correct
    to add a multiple points in rgb shift+click doesn't work!

    Keyboard shortcuts: Curves
    You can use these keyboard shortcuts for Curves:
    To set a point on the curve for the selected color in each color component channel (but not in the composite channel), Shift+Ctrl-click (Windows) or Shift+Command-click (Mac OS) in the image.
    To select multiple points, Shift-click points on the curve. Selected points are filled with black.
    To deselect all points on the curve, click in the grid, or press Ctrl‑D (Windows) or Command-D (Mac OS).
    To select the next higher point on the curve, press the plus key; to select the next lowest, press the minus key.
    To move selected points on the curve, press the arrow keys.
    (Curves dialog box) To set a point on the curve for the current channel, Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) in the image. 
    If you’re instead using the Curves adjustment, simply click in the image with the On-image adjustment tool .

    How do I find out serial no of my torch 9800 without the physical phone ( is it in the packaging to the brand new phone?) so that I can report it being stolen and alert anyone buying a stolen hanset in 2nd hand Market. Who should I report it having been stolen after repotted it having been stolen to the police.

    Your cell carrier would have a record of it. They might even blacklist the phone so nobody else can use it.
    Give them a call to see what they will do for you.

  • How can I find a previous device that was registered with the same id but on a different laptop?

    my laptop was stolen along with my ipod touch. It was registered with that laptop but I need proof for an insurance claim. how can i show i registered it (owned it) with my new laptop?
    my ipod was previous to the most recent so i think thats a 4th gen
    i've used the same apple id on both laptops
    thanks

    ok well my last laptop was the only lapyop used to sync my ipod (thought that meant it was registered)

  • How can I find my account name for signing in to the sync option

    I have a sync now button, but, no set up sync key, so I can't get the digits to sync to my new laptop. When I attempt on my new laptop and press the I don't have the other device key, it asks for information including my Account. I don't know where to find that name. I have the password and recovery key; just need to find the name of the Account.

    You can only use pair a device if you have already setup Sync on another device because that is how pairing works: both devices need to be online and one device needs to be connected to the Sync server.<br />
    The device that you want to add gives a 3x4 character pairing code that you need to enter on the device that has already Sync set up and that is currently connected to the Sync server (so you need to have both devices at hand).<br />
    Then the Sync server uses this pairing code to connect to the second device and passes the name and password and Sync key from the first device that has Sync set up to that second device that you want to add.
    Enter all details like the account name (email address) and password and the 26-character Sync key manually to connect to an existing sync account instead of using the 12-character code to pair a device if pairing isn't possible.
    # open "Firefox > Set Up Sync..." or "Tools > Options > Sync > Set Up Firefox Sync"
    # click "I Have an Account"
    That brings you to the "Pair a Device" window that shows a 12-character code that you can enter on another device that has Sync set up.
    If that isn't possible then click "I don't have the device with me" at the bottom to enter the account settings (email, password, sync key) manually.

    When I open iTunes, I can not view / do not have access to the numerous purchases of television shows (some of which have been discontinued) or my music and music videos. This is extremely frustrating because I paid for those movies, music, and music videos.  Any assistance as to how to access these purchases will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you

    How?  I don't understand why I am having so much difficulty not only trying to find the songs that I purchased through itunes but the music I already had that is only stored on my iphone at the moment.  I had to re-install my computer so I lost everything that was on it.  WHY???  Is this so difficult to figure out???  My iphone plays the songs, I want them on my samsung s4.  How do i do it?
    Thanks in advance.

    If you put them on your computer, then they will be in your "Library" in itunes.
    You sync them to your iphone as you did before.

  • How can I find out what is in each portion of the capacity bar?

    Does anyone know?

    You can not access the backup directly.
    Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
    If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
    If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device?
