ABSTRACT:
A spectral image processing system and method of performing robust unmixing on measurement noise. Based on an observed spectral image acquired from a specimen and emission spectral data of each of plural materials contained in the specimen, a contribution of each of the plural materials to the observed spectral image is unmixed by a process, including an evaluating step of evaluating reliability of each component of the observed spectral image based on a predicted spectral image of the observed spectral image, and a reflecting step of reflecting a result of the evaluation in a content of the unmixing.
