The variable selection method identifies important wavelengths by minimizing a reconstruction error metric, while clustering approaches rely on the strengths of the correlation and local density of the spectra. Analyses of the data reveal three distinct absorption lines at 560, 740, and 980 nm that produce relatively broad reflectance peaks in the measured spectra of wet plastics around 475\u2013490, 635\u2013650, 810\u2013815, and 1070 nm. The results of band selection consistently identify three important regions across 450\u2013470, 650\u2013690, and 1050\u20131100 nm that are close to the reflectance peaks of the mean of wet plastic spectra over clear and turbid waters. However, as the number of isolated important wavelengths increases, the results of the methodologies diverge. Density peak clustering identifies additional wavelengths in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) region of 1170\u20131180 nm) as a result of a high local density of the reflectance points. In contrast, hierarchical clustering isolates more wavelengths in the visible range of 365\u2013400 nm due to weak correlations of nearby wavelengths. The results of the clustering methods are not consistent with the visual inspection of the signatures as peaks and valleys in the spectra, which are effectively captured by the variable selection method. It is also found that the presence of suspended sediments can (i) shift the important wavelength towards higher values in the visible part of the spectrum by less than 50 nm, (ii) attenuate the magnitude of wet plastic reflectance by up to 80% across the entire spectrum, and (iii) manifest a similar spectral signature with plastic litter from 1070 to 1100 nm.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16010172","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,31]],"date-time":"2023-12-31T04:51:51Z","timestamp":1703998311000},"page":"172","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Uncovering Plastic Litter Spectral Signatures: A Comparative Study of Hyperspectral Band Selection Algorithms"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7574-3763","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammadali","family":"Olyaei","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil, Environmental and Geo-Engineering, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5960-4958","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ardeshir","family":"Ebtehaj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil, Environmental and Geo-Engineering, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119632","DOI":"10.1016\/j.watres.2023.119632","article-title":"Deep learning for detecting macroplastic litter in water bodies: A review","volume":"231","author":"Jia","year":"2023","journal-title":"Water Res."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"112675","DOI":"10.1016\/j.marpolbul.2021.112675","article-title":"Floating marine litter detection algorithms and techniques using optical remote sensing data: A review","volume":"170","author":"Topouzelis","year":"2021","journal-title":"Mar.
