13 Earth Observation tools for mineral exploration QUANTools is an ENVI/IDL toolbox for spectral absorption band mapping using spectral libraries or hyperspectral image data. QUANTools can be used to integrate the absorption feature information though the VIS/NIR/SWIR and LWIR ranges, and, moreover, how this new dataset can be successfully used for final mineral/lithology mapping. Universal toolbox: hyperspectral imaging data as well as spectral libraries The QUANTools toolbox is available for free (February 2016); or contact Kopačková, V.; Koucká, L.
