PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE
Effect of Azimuthal Angle on Infrared Diffuse Reflection Spectra of Fabrics
Stephanie A. DeJong, Brianna M. Cassidy, Zhenyu Lu, Megan R. Pearl, Jessica N. McCutcheon, Wayne O'Brien, Nicholas D. Boltin, Raymond G. Belliveau, Stephen L. Morgan, and M.L. Myrick
In forensics, IR can be useful for detecting fluids on fabric. But it is critical to understand the variability in the fabric spectra. In this study, the authors investigate the effect of the sample azimuthal angle variability on the spectra, and present an approach to minimize that effect.
