Improved Extended Multiplicative Scatter Correction Algorithm Applied in Blood Glucose Noninvasive Measurement with FT-IR Spectroscopy by Qingbo Li, Qishuo Gao, Guangjun Zhang

“…In order to improve the predictive accuracy of human blood glucose quantitative analysis model with fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, this paper uses a method named improved extended multiplicative scatter correction (Im-EMSC), which can effectively eliminate the scattering effects caused by human body strong scattering. The principal components of the differential spectra are used instead of the pure spectra of the analytes in this algorithm. …”
