Researchers at the Spectroscopy Lab have measured the spectral
reflectance of hundreds of materials in the lab, and have compiled a
spectral library. The libraries are used as references for
material identification in remote sensing images.
Splib05a contains 800+ spectra of minerals, mixtures, artificial, liquids and
volattiles and vegetation, each with documentation.

(For your information, libraries 01, 02, and 03 were experimental
excersizes on what to include in a spectral library.)
The mid-infrared 1.5-150 micron library (splib06) contains about 400 samples
of mid-infrared data as well as spectra from splib05a and additional visible
and near-infrared spectra will be released as soon as
complete. When ths library will be complete depends on manpower
assigned to work on this task. Target: end of 2004.
