Detection of biomarkers using infra-red spectroscopy

In the near future, more missions of exploration will be sent to our neighbour planets and moons to detect signs of life. The automatisation of such search is not an easy task and selecting the right samples for the analysis is even less easy. This paper proposes a technique using infra-red spectroscopy coupled with statistical and multivariate algorithms to preselect targets for detailed search for biomarkers.
