✦ Synopsis
Most of spectral estimation methods are based on improving the learning-based procedures which mainly modify the training sets used by the basic methods. In this article, a new method is developed for analyzing of superiority of these modified processes to the basic methods in terms of normality of datasets. Hence, two qualitative terms, named generality and similarity are introduced to interpret the recovery achievements of different databases and their roles as training and testing sets. Also, a simple technique based on dataset modification of pseudo-inverse method is introduced for the recovery of reflectance spectra of samples from their corresponding colorimetric data. The method modifies the training dataset according to the color specifications of test sample. In fact, different weighting matrices are employed as dynamic modifiers to improve the pseudo-inverse estimation as a simple recovery method. The employed datasets are examined in the self as well as cross test conditions and the results are spectrally and colorimetrically evaluated. The root mean square errors between the reconstructed and actual spectra along with the corresponding color difference values under different illuminants decrease by employing the suggested modification method in comparison to classical pseudo-inverse technique as well as the recently improved version named optimized adaptive Wiener method.
