Extract

Multi-dimensional data sets are now produced by many analytical instruments. They include the series of spectra, the series of images and spectrum-images, which can be considered as a series of spectra at different positions or series of images at different wavelengths.

The automatic (or semi-automatic) handling of such data sets requires that new multivariate analysis methods are made available. For instance, if we restrict ourselves to image sets, there is a need to deduce (from the multiple maps) a single map in which regions of the specimen with approximate homogeneous properties (composition ...) can be identified and quantified.

At the present time, only a limited number of software tools are available for this purpose: - the scatterplot allows the display of the correlations between two or three spectra or images, - Interactive Correlation Partitioning (ICP) allows the user to divide the scatterplot into several parts and to reconstitute images with one selected part, -Multivariate Statistical Analysis (MSA) allows us to analyze a data set composed of several images and to identify the different sources of information, and to filter out noise and experimental artefacts.
