Extended Multiplicative Scatter Correction (EMSC)
|
Extended Multiplicative Scatter Correction (EMSC) is a powerful preprocessing technique to isolate and remove complicated multiplicative and additive effects, such as those caused by light scattering in reflectance spectroscopy. |
---|
It expands on the popular Multiplicative Scatter/Signal Correction technique by offering much improved flexibility in selecting backgrounds to subtract (known interferences) as well as scaling targets and known analyte spectra. Eigenvector Research is offering this patented technique as an add-on for use with PLS_Toolbox as EMSC_Toolbox.

EMSC_Toolbox requires PLS_Toolbox version 4.1 or higher and MATLAB 6.5, 7.x or higher. EMSC_Toolbox does not require other MATLAB toolboxes. Like most MATLAB toolboxes, EMSC_Toolbox is platform independent. It will function on any platform on which MATLAB functions (e.g. MAC, PC, Unix).
