Chapter 5 Quantum Multispectral and Imaging Hyperspectral Remote Sensing of Alteration Minerals

In literature, mineral explorations by remote sensing are restricted to conventional image processing techniques, which are embedded to available commercial software; for instance, ERDAS, PCI Geomatica, and The Environment for Visualizing Images (ENVI). Numerous remote sensing geology works in a developed country are ill-defined. Since the beginning of remote sensing mineralogy applications, there is no precise algorithm developing to state the quantity of detected mineralogies. Up to date, there is no study able to model the percentage amount of mineral such as iron in the optical satellite images. This chapter, therefore, is devoted to deliver a ...
