    Hi all, I am a green hand for ENVI and IDL. My problem is that I am using s06av95a_envi.sli spectral library (a resampled library for AVIRIS sensor from splib06 file) to analyze my endmembers. But not all spectra in that library file have reflectance data in all bands from 0.4 to 2.5 micrometers. Instead, a lot of spectra just have values in a subset of that region and have a '*' in other bands. After I used SAM classification, all the materials with missing data would have a score of zero due to '*'. So, I want to know how to adjust this library file. Could I simply replace '*' with zero? Otherwise, is there any better method to compare endmembers with spectra in this kind of library? Any feedback will be very appreciated. Thanks in advance, Lin

    By the way, I read the library data using IDL and found the missing data marked as '*' is -1.23*e+34 (10 to the power of 34). And the data of reflectance in other good bands is between 0 and 1. So, the available data amplitude is too small compared to the missing data amplitude which is marked as e+34. And that is why these spectra do not work well in SAM comparison. So, I want to know is it OK if I simply replace the data in bad band with zero. In my opinion, it will definitely change the spectral angle in n-D space. But I do not have any better idea. Thanks, Lin
