Hyperspectral package for spectroscopists

SpectraMap (SpMap): Hyperspectral package for spectroscopists in Python

Hyperspectral imaging presents important applications in medicine, agriculture, pharmaceutical, space, food and many upcoming applications. The analysis of hyperspectral images requires advanced software. The upcoming developments related to fast hyperspectral imaging, automation and deep learning applications demand innovative software developments for analyzing hyperspectral data. The Figure 1 shows the hyperspectral imaging by a standard spectrometer instrument. More information regarding novel medical imaging is found in advances in imaging.

Features

The package includes standard tools such as reading, preprocessing, processing and visualization. The designing was focused on working hyperspectral images from Raman datasets. The package is extended to other spectroscopies as long as the data follows the type data structure. Some features are shown by the next figures.

• Preprocessing: some tool such as smoothing, removal of spikes, normalization and advanced baseline corrections are included. Figure 2 illustrates a mean and standard deviation of a tissue signature.

• Processing: some tools such as unmixing, pca, pls, vca and hierarchical and kmeans clustering are included. Figure 3 displays application of clustering for locating microplastics on complex matrices.

• Visualization: the next examples shows the pca scores of several biomolecules.

Further upcoming developments:

• Graphical User Interface

• Supervised tools

• Use of large language models

• Optimizing speed and organizing main code

• More examples

Installation

The predetermined work interface is Python 3. The library comes with 8 different hyperspectral examples and analysis. A manual presents the relevant functions and examples Manual.
