TSG Downloads: Spectral Libraries
Back to Download
To assist you in building your spectral geology
expertise, a couple of spectral libraries are included here for
download. These are
- Reference spectra of common
minerals: these are a collection of the class mean spectra from the
TSA SWIR training library of common minerals. This small
library is also installed with each TSG installation.
- USGS Sample Collection:
A series of PIMA spectra in TSG format from the comprehensive
mineral collection at the USGS. Measured by Jon Huntington. Save
this file onto your computer and then unzip the TSG Viewer files.
Please take the time to read the small "readme.txt" file which will
give you some background on these spectra.
These libraries can be
attached as "Aux" files to your TSG files, and then overlaid
with your project spectra to assist in your interpretations.
These libraries are also particularly useful if your
project area includes more exotic minerals that may not be represented
in the in-built reference library in TSG. More libraries will be added in time, from user
feedback and various research developments.
