Reference Data Set of Human Skin Reflectance

This data set contains 100 reference reflectance spectra of human skin, spanning the wavelength region from 250 nm to 2500 nm. The spectra were acquired with a commercially available spectrophotometer and are directly traceable to the national scale for directional-hemispherical reflectance factor.
