Within the Spectral Signatures module, users can view, share, and delete their own spectral files. All these actions are explained below.
Viewing Signatures #
You can view public, shared, and personal spectral signatures directly from the module:
- Click the eye icon in the column on the right to view an individual signature.
- To view multiple signatures at once (between 2 and 8), use the checkboxes to select them and click the View button.
This allows for visual comparison between different spectral profiles.
Signature Ownership #
- You: Marked with a user icon.
- Public: Displayed with the label “PUBLIC.”
- Shared: Identified by the first letter of the owner’s name. Hover over the icon to view the full username.
Sharing Signatures #
You can share any of your uploaded signatures with colleagues:
- Click the user icon under the Actions column.
- Select one or more users from the list to share with.
- Once changes are made, the Share button will become active. Click it to confirm.
- To revoke access, simply deselect the users previously shared with.
Deleting Signatures #
To permanently delete a spectral signature:
- Click the trash icon under the Actions column.
- Confirm the deletion. Please note that this action cannot be undone.
Analyzing Signatures #
You can correlate spectral signatures with hyperspectral imagery using instruments like EMIT, EnMAP, or PRISMA.
- Select the desired hyperspectral instrument.
- Click Manage Insights from the toolbox.
- Choose Create New Insight.
- Complete the form and select the spectral signature from your library.
- Use the newly created block within the My Insights section as usual for further analysis.
Best Practices #
- Always validate your spectral data before uploading.
- Leverage the public library as a benchmark or comparison tool.
- Regularly maintain and organize your spectral signature library for efficient access.
