Research on Standard Legend Production of the Geological Map Interpreted with Remote Sensing Images

Abstract

It is necessary to standardize the legends of the geological map interpreted with remote sensing images in various application fields duly to achieve standardization and automation of the legends. This paper analyzes main contents and expression forms of legends based on the principle of legend compilation and expansion, and discusses generation method, compilation and expression of various legends. 455 legends of the geological map interpreted with remote sensing images were designed and produced by using Font Creator and ArcGIS software. These legends can be applied to remote sensing survey of regional geology and mineral geology, remote sensing monitoring of fundamental geology environment, remote sensing monitoring of geological disasters, remote sensing monitoring of mineral resources development and others, which can basically meet needs of actual work, and can provide technical support for standardized research of the geological map interpreted with remote sensing images.
