Spectral Signature
Spectral signature is a distinctive pattern of spectral reflectance by various materials, and can be used to identify and classify those materials based on comparison to known values. In a similar way that an observer can identify objects in an aerial image qualitatively based on colour, the signature quantifies in a graph the reflectance quantity (intensity) vs wavelength (colour) to produce a curve which includes energy beyond the visible spectrum.
