  • Abstract:
    We present the applicability of hierarchical agglomerative cluster algorithms to terahertz (THz) spectroscopic analysis. We show the influence of different windowing and filtering methods in the spectral data pre-processing to enhance the clustering results. Two distance measures are compared. Classical Euclidean distance on the full frequency range and a distance working only on the minima of the spectra. We further show the adaptability of our clustering methods for THz hyper-spectral image classification and visualization.
