A new technique is proposed to improve the way of selecting samples used to
estimate spectral reflectance from sensor responses in multi-band images.
This technique limits the samples of re reflectance spectra based on the sp
ectral reflectance estimated by the conventional estimation method, and est
imates it again using the limited samples. Vector angle and distance among
reflectance spectra as the criteria for the limitation can be applied to im
prove the estimation of reflectance spectra.
