Spring Exploration Using Satellite Images for
Geological Programs
Satellite
Remote Sensing has been a normal first rung on the ladder for the mineral and petroleum
exploration industry.
The use of satellite imagery in mineral exploration, generally a variety of panchromatic and
multi-spectral image data continues to be utilized in oil and mineral companies over the last
decade.
With higher resolution satellite sensors increasing throughout the last decade such as
GeoEye-1 (0.
41m) and WorldView-2 (0.
46m) both offering panchromatic and multi-spectral
full color image that s used to employ improved spectral analysis for mapping, monitoring and
analyzing landcover classification and removal of culture knowledge, normalized huge
difference vegetation index (NDVI) classification and mapping, lithological classification,
change recognition, environmental monitoring, growth, land-use planning, creation and
simulation conditions such as digital elevation models (DEMs) and 3d terrain modelin
