Description:
To objectively determine the wavelengths of emission or absorption lines,
you have to separate signal from noise in a graph of wavelength intensities.
Especially when looking for peaks or valleys that disrupt a continuous (black body radiation) spectrum,
the low frequency (maybe > 20 nm) information becomes noise.
To eliminate it, fit a cubic spline or other easily adjustable curve to each color channel separately.
Compute the deviations of each channel from its curve and average the three new curves into a single curve,
