A field-deployable spectral reflectometer to characterize surfaces in the infrared from the NIR to the LWIR
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABB Bomem has recently designed a field-deployable reflectometer to measure the diffuse spectral reflectance of surfaces from 0.7 μm to 13.5 μm. Its spectral resolution is adjustable and can be as fine as 4 cm<sup>-1</sup>. The instrument is designed to field and laboratory operation. It is portable and battery-operated. In its simplest mode, the instrument is automated and can be operated by non-specialist personnel with minimal training. The instrument was designed to build a spectral database of different surfaces in various conditions (different humidity, temperature, texture, mixing, etc.) and in the presence of various interfering chemicals (oils, solvents, etc.). The instrument has its own built-in infrared sources. The sources illuminate the ground area to be measured. The instrument has also two built-in reference diffusers: a Spectralon diffuser and an Infragold diffuser.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
