SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EXTRACTING SPECTRA FROM DATA PRODUCED BY A SPECTROMETER

摘要

A system and method are provided of extracting spectra from data produced by temporally indexed spectral scans from a spectrometer. The method includes the operation of receiving a data matrix from the spectrometer 302. The noise can then be removed from the data matrix 304. A further operation is identifying spectra of interest in the data matrix based on information content 306. In addition, a reduction transformation can be applied to the data matrix based upon the spectra of interest based upon the denizen transformation for the purpose of extracting the spectra of interest from the data matrix 308.
