title: Extraction of diffuse reflection spectrum on reflectance spectroscopy for solid or powder surfaces.
abstract: Reflectance spectroscopy usually produces distorted spectra because it is arbitrarily composed of two different types of reflectance, specular reflectance and diffuse reflectance. That is why this has been an annoying problem for reflectance spectroscopists. In this report, we studied the extraction of only the diffuse reflectance spectra from several reflectance spectra using redundant multiple spectral information, non-negative transformation of the recorded spectra and information processing as the multi-curve resolution. As a result, we found that we could estimate just the diffuse reflectance spectral profile.
