Study on the Effect of Surface Roughness on the Spectral Unmixing of Mixed Pixels by Haonan Zhang, Xingping Wen, Junlong Xu, Dayou Luo, Ping He

“…If the surface roughness of the sample to be measured is less than the maximum wavelength of the spectrometer, the experimental results believe that the photon energy is mainly mirror reflection on the surface of the object and diffuse reflection. At this time, it is still a better choice to use a linear spectral mixing model to decompose the mixed pixels.…”
