Efficient real-time discrimination of image objects is greatly affected by their radiometry, which is only partly accounted for by image scene calibration. Such calibration treats mainly variations in flux density in the generalized imaged scene plane rather than on the objects' surface. The proposed methodology uses ratios between secondary parameterizations: e.g., absorption features and spectral derivatives. Clustering in the ratios' parameter space may allow differentiation between image objects despite limitations regarding their relative calibration. The usefulness of this approach was demonstrated in the challenging task of separating Mediterranean vegetation species using imaging spectroscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
