Abstract
- For the sake of classification, spectra are traditionally represented by points in a high-dimensional feature space, spanned by spectral bands. An alternative approach is to represent spectra by dissimilarities to other spectra. This relational representation enables one to treat spectra as connected entities and to emphasize characteristics such as shape, which are difficult to handle in the traditional approach. Several classification methods for relational representations were developed and found to outperform the nearest-neighbor rule. Existing studies focus only on the performance measured by the classification error. However, for real-time spectral imaging applications, classification speed is of crucial importance. Therefore, in this paper, we focus on the computational aspects of the on-line classification of spectra. We show, that classifiers built in dissimilarity spaces may also be applied significantly faster than the nearest-neighbor rule. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
