Aster Spectral Library

The Aster Spectral Library is a comprehensive digital collection of detailed measurements of how different materials and objects reflect light across various wavelengths, especially in the visible and infrared ranges. It is used in remote sensing and imaging technologies to identify and analyze land features, vegetation, water bodies, and other surfaces from satellite or aerial data. By comparing real-world data to these reference spectra, scientists and environmentalists can accurately classify and monitor Earth's surface, aiding in applications like agriculture, environmental management, and urban planning.
