After centring the data matrix down the columns, perform univariate calibration at each wavelength for compound A (only), using a method that assumes all errors are in the response (spectral) direction. Eight slopes should be obtained, one for each wavelength. 

After centring die data bodi in the concentration and spectral directions, calculate the first and second components for the data and compound A using PLS1.

The emissivity of a real surface is not a constant. Rather, it varies with the temperature of the surface as well as the wavelength and tlie direction of the emitted radiation. Therefore, different emissiviiies can be defined for a surface, depending on the effects considered. The most elemental emissivity of a surface at a given lemperature is the spectral directional emissivity, which is defined as the ratio of the intensity of radiation emitted by the suiface at a specified wavelength in a speeiOed direction to the intensit) of radiation emitted by a blackbody at the same temperature at the same wavelength. That is. 

These definitions are for lolol hemispherical properties, since G represents the radiation flux incident on tlic surface from all directions over the hemi spherical space and over all wavelengths. Thus, a, p, and t are the average properties of a medium for all directions and all wavelengths. However, like einissivity, these properties can also be defined for a specific wavelength and/or direction. For example, the spectral directional absorptivity and spectral directional reflectivity of a surface are defined, respectively, as the absorbed and leflected fractions of the intensity of radiation incident at a specified wavelength in a specified direction as... 

This relation is valid when the irradiation oi the emitted radiation is independent of direction. The form of Xirchhoff s law that involves no restrictions is the spectral directional form expressed as o(r). That is, the... 

Independent of the final objective of image analysis, it is always worth exploring the image in both spatial and spectral directions to obtain a first insight into the most relevant spectral features, or on any peculiarities linked to the component distribution. 

In contrast to classical approaches, MIA uses all of the information contained in the original image in the spatial and spectral directions, and provides simple ways of visualizing the image while preserving the relevant original information [1,... 

Figure 2.11 illustrates this two-step procedure for compressed data sets in the spectral (right) and spatial (left) directions. Taking as an example the compression in the spectral direction, resolution is first carried out on the compressed data set, Dcomp. where all pixels are preserved and the number of spectral charmels is...

A variety of constraints exists which may be relevant to NMR data. A commonly applied constraint is non-negativity (e.g. of spectra), which in the case of NMR makes sense, if it is known that the experiment applied should only produce positive signals. Thus, it is possible to force the algorithm to only allow positive signals in the NMR spectral direction (ppm mode). Other constraints include unimodality where only one peak is allowed or closure which can be used if a limited number of components exist in the system and their signal should add up to 100% in intensity. Many more constraints exist and the reader is referred to the literature for further information (e.g. refs.6,7). 

No real materials act as blackbodies, so measures of their deviation from blackbody behavior are used to define the spectral, directional, and temperature dependence of real surfaces relative to those of a blackbody. 

Emissivity. The ability of a surface to emit radiation in comparison with the ideal emission by a blackbody is defined as the emissivity of the surface. The emissivity can be defined on a spectral, directional, or total basis Directional Spectral Emissivity ...

BATs)cos9 dco = l+Al)/BATs)- In general, e depends upon the direction of emission, the surface temperature, and the frequency of the radiation, as well as other physical properties of the surface (index of refraction, chemical composition, texture, etc.). A surface for which e is unity for all Cl and v, is a blackbody, by definition. A hypothetical surface for which e = constant < 1 for all frequencies is a graybody. Similarly, we define the spectral directional absorptance as the ratio of absorbed energy to incident energy of the beam a v, —Cl, Ts) =... 

Reflectance (relative spectral directional reflectance) Ratio of the radiant flux reflected from a light-diffusing specimen to that reflected from a light-diffusing standard. 

Hyperspectral images are often displayed as cubes where two dimensions are the pixel coordinates x and y) and the third dimension is the spectral coordinate. When we deal with a multilayer image, we should imagine a hypercube with three spatial directions (the x-, y-, and z-voxel coordinates) and the spectral direction. 

Figure 2.8 shows an example of SIMPLISMA applied in the pixel and in the spectral direction to an emulsion image with four compounds (a drop, an interphase, an additive, and an off-drop constituent). In Figure 2.8, a-d are the purest pixels selected in the image and provide the plotted spectra on the right. Labels 1-4 are the purest spectral channels that, once refolded, give the distribution maps at the bottom of the figure.
