Abstract
A method of implementing a self-calibrating database of spectral data includes receiving remotely-sensed spectral data for a geographic location. The method also includes accessing spectral data for a composition of materials at the geographic location from a database of spectral data for compositions of materials at respective geographic locations. The method includes calibrating the spectral data to match the remotely-sensed spectral data and thereby produce calibrated spectral data for the composition. The method includes validating the calibrated spectral data for the composition. And in an instance in which the calibrated spectral data for the composition is validated, the method includes replacing the spectral data with the calibrated spectral data to produce an enhanced database of spectral data for use in identifying materials or compositions of materials therefrom; and in at least one instance, outputting identifiers of the materials in the composition of materials.
