Automated Spectral Identification Of Materials Using Spectral Identity Mapping, Robert William Cannon

ETD Archive

With increased use of Raman spectroscopic instrumentation for material analysis there has also been an increase in the amount of acquired Raman spectral data. Because of this, there is a clear need to develop and implement advanced spectral analysis techniques. This is especially true in cases where limited reference data may be available and large data sets need to be interpreted. Raman spectral analysis and standardization techniques, along with a foundation for a comprehensive repository of Raman spectral data, will be described in this thesis. The main focus will be automated analysis and standardization of Raman spectral data using spectral …
