Abstract:
A method, apparatus and program product are provided for simplifying electro-optical imaging data. Spectral/temporal data is received. The spectral/temporal data is formulated into a vector/matrix. Feature extraction analysis is performed. At least two largest principal components are determined from the feature extraction analysis. A cluster diagram is created from the at least two largest principal components. A distance metric is evaluated from the cluster diagram. And, a largest metric is selected based on the distance metric.
