23 Hyperspectral Remote Sensing What is it? The science of acquiring digital imagery of earth materials in many narrow contiguous spectral bands. Also referred to as imaging spectrometry. Differs from conventional remote sensing in that it covers many narrowly defined spectral channels, where as, conventional remote sensing looks at several broadly defined spectral regions. CONCEPTS 23

25 Laboratory Set up of Hyperspectral Remote sensing Sensor Lamp White Panel ASD Spectroradiometr Laptop Reflectance spectra of clay minerals and micas contains distinctive absorption features (T shaped symbols) due to the bending of Al-OH and Mg-OH bonds. Such features help in discriminating between such minerals of hydrothermal and sedimentary process. 25
26 Reflectance spectra of carbonates contains distinctive absorption features (T shaped symbols) due to vibrational transitions related to C-O bonds. Most distinctive features is near 2.35 microns, which helps in discriminating between carbonates and clays. Lab spectra of few rockktypes of Sakoli belt 26

34 Granitoids identified through Crosta Technique: G Cultivated land Forest Cover G Cultivated land G-Granite Cultivated land G SUMMING UP Remote sensing and image analysis can be effectively utilised to map the litho types. Lineament fabric from satellite data product can be used for assessing the density and frequency of fracture/joint system to evaluate the dimensional stones in terms of their suitability. Geomorphological map can be used for study of landforms and their correlatibity with granitoids/basic rocks/carbonates /quartzites. The hyperspectral data can be used for mapping the compositional variations in granitoids and to map different carbonate rocks dolomites/calcitic types. 34
