ter has lower errors and a lower number of rejected
spectra for the data used in this work. However, this
behavior needs further investigation. The measure-
ments of the computation time showed that the el-
liptical fitting needs only about
1
/225 of the compu-
tational effort compared to the CNLS. This leads to
the assumption that this approach might be suitable
for implementations on embedded systems. For this
purpose the accuracy of the elliptical fitting has to be
estimated depending on the application, the measure-
ment and/or the sensor.
