function [up,down,extrMaxIndex,extrMinIndex] = envelope(x,y,interpMethod)
%ENVELOPE gets the data of upper and down envelope of the known input (x,y).
%
% Input parameters:
% x the abscissa of the given data
% y the ordinate of the given data
% interpMethod the interpolation method
%
% Output parameters:
% up the upper envelope, which has the same length as x.
% down the down envelope, which has the same length as x.
