Abstract:A combined method of wavelet transform and spline fitting is presented for continuum fitting with the strong spectral lines taken out beforehand. Some comparisons between normal methods and the method presented are made by the experiments on actual spectra. And the experimental results show that our method is superior to others. Besides, an effective continuum revision formula is derived to avoid the appearance of negative continua obtained by some methods such as polynomial fitting and so on.
