Area of Science:

• Data Science
• Image Processing
• Spectroscopy

Background:

• Spectral imaging generates high-dimensional data, posing challenges for numerical analysis and data management.
• Existing data compression techniques often struggle to preserve relevant information, leading to accuracy loss.

• To address the limitations imposed by the high dimensionality of spectral imaging data.

Main Methods:

• A novel local proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) approach is proposed.
• High-dimensional spectral data clusters are projected onto subspaces spanned by local reduced-order bases.
• K-means clustering is utilized to find locally optimal POD solutions for each data group.

Main Results:

• The proposed local-based POD method demonstrates significant improvements in spectral accuracy.
• Colorimetric accuracy of the reconstructed spectral reflectance shows promising enhancement compared to existing methods.
• Experimental results on multiple databases validate the effectiveness of the developed technique.

Conclusions:
