Discovering peaks is a premise of audio fingerprinting algorithms for audio information retrieval, which focus on spectrogram peak pairs. In this paper, we discuss finding peaks in a two-direction scanning method which use a dynamic threshold vector to find local maximal point as peaks. And then an improved method using a slide window with two grids is proposed for discovering peaks at real-time. In this method, two key steps are executed alternately: scanning and sliding. In each scanning step, new peaks are found. When the slide window method is used, experiments on a database with 400,000 songs show that the average query time is shorten and the recall rate is slightly decreased.
