ABSTRACT:
In a method of identifying or comparing compositions of material, the reflectivity of a material to be identified or compared is measured at index points distributed through the near infrared spectrum. A similar measurement is made for at least one standard or known material. From the reflectivity measurements, sets of values representing the first or higher order derivative curves are determined. These values mathematically define vectors by representing the coordinates of the end points of the vectors and multiple dimensional space. An index of a similarity between the composition of a test sample and a standard material is calculated by determining the cosine of the angle between the corresponding vectors.
