HyMap airborne imaging spectroscopy for mineral potential mapping of cupriferous mineralization in a semi-arid region based on pixel/sub-pixel hydrothermal alteration minerals mapping – A case study
Abstract:<p>Recently, hyperspectral datasets recognized a great interest in mineral exploration studies due to their high accuracy in detecting and mapping hydrothermal alteration minerals. Remote and mountainous regions are hardly accessible by geologists, while the spectral richness of imaging spectroscopy could provide detailed information about geology/mineralogy without having a direct contact with the ground surface. The Kerdous inlier in the Anti-Atlas belt of Morocco is recognized by several occur… Show more
“…Additionally, Al-OH is mapped by dividing the sum of band 101 (2094 nm) and 111 (2268 nm) by band 108 (2217 nm). The enhancement of Mg-Fe-OH/CO 3 alteration minerals can be performed by dividing the sum of Band 111 (2268 nm) and 120 (2414 nm) by band 114 (2318 nm) [8,15]. This capability is grounded in the distinctive absorption features exhibited by these minerals [1].…”
