Abstract

The invention relates to a method for characterizing a target product, including the steps of: (a) forming a bank of spectral data comprising samples; (b) having measured characteristics and spectra; (c) performing a spectral analysis of the target product and comparing the spectrum obtained with the spectral data in the data bank; (d) identifying the “near neighbor” points of the target product; and (e) performing a topological calculation of the characteristic of the target product as a function of the corresponding characteristics of the near neighbor points, based on a weighting linked to the inverse of the distance between the target product and the near neighbor points.
