The Spectral 3D Align process takes a stacked data set of three-dimensional spectral data and aligns them on their x and y axes. The process works by binning the data along an equally spaced grid in the x and y dimensions and then smoothing the result using a kernel density method. The output data set is in tall form, with distinct x and y values in each row and each sample forming a separate column computed from the z values.
One data set is required to run the Spectral 3D Align process. This data set must be in the stacked format and must contain data for each of the three dimensions.

The output generated by this process is summarized in a Tabbed report. Refer to the 3D Align output documentation for detailed descriptions and guides to interpreting your results.
