• Abstract: Constructing probability densities for inference in high-dimensional spectral data is often intractable. In this work, we use normalizing flows on structured spectral latent spaces to estimate such densities, enabling downstream inference tasks. In addition, we evaluate a method for uncertainty quantification when predicting unobserved state vectors associated with each spectrum. We demonstrate the capability of this approach on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy data collected by the ChemCam instrument on the Mars rover Curiosity. Using our approach, we are able to generate realistic spectral samples and to accurately predict state vectors with associated well-calibrated uncertainties. We anticipate that this methodology will enable efficient probabilistic modeling of spectral data, leading to potential advances in several areas, including out-of-distribution detection and sensitivity analysis.

  Extended Vision techniques often pose a challenge in their interpretation. The huge dimensionality of data cube spectra poses a complex task in its statistical interpretation. In this paper, we explore the possibility of applying unsupervised clustering methods in encoded space. A statistical dimensional reduction is performed by an ad hoc trained (Variational) AutoEncoder, while the clustering process is performed by a (learnable) iterative K-Means clustering algorithm.

  We show that ghost spectrometry can be used to assess the presence of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats. In many cases, reconstructing the full spectral lineshape of an object is not needed and the interest lies in discriminating whether a spectrally absorbing object may be present or not. We discuss the experimental results obtained with different samples and complement them with simulations to explore the most common scenarios.

We demonstrate the methodology on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy data from the ChemCam instrument onboard the Mars rover Curiosity.
