Rec stands for recall values and Pre stands for precision values. The recall and the precision values of PICKY and WaVPeak are taken from [1]. B-H (WaVPeak) is the WaVPeak peaks selected by the proposed B-H algorithm. Consensus (Inline graphic) is the consensus of WaVPeak and PICKY by simply considering the top Inline graphic peaks from each method. B-H (Consensus) is the consensus of WaVPeak and PICKY by considering the top peaks that are determined by the proposed B-H algorithm. All the values are given as percentage.
