Finding Local Extrema in MATLAB Using Morphological Dilation

This article describes a practical approach to detect local maxima (and by extension, minima) in multidimensional arays using MATLAB's Image Processing Toolbox. The method leverages morphological dilation to identify peak locations while allowing control over minimum separation between detected extrema and handling of plateaus. Core Concept The ...
