OpenRamanDatabase

OpenRamanDatabase is a software tool designed to analyze data from an open Raman spectroscope and match it against a database of known microplastics. It was built to be associated with a lowtech/cost raman spectroscope. Thus a simple peak matching algorithm and a threshold adjustment for cutting out noise.
