Hyperspectral Remote Sensing of Serpentine Rocks and Asbestos Bearing Roofing Slate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Asbestos is a commercial term that represents several different silicate minerals which separate into long thin fibers. Asbestos has been used in numerous commercial applications due to its outstanding incombustible and insulating characteristics but causes fatal diseases such as lung cancer, asbestosis and malignant mesothelioma so strict regulations and controls for asbestos bearing rocks and products are necessary. However, untreated tailings bring those diseases have been left without any reclamation in several abandoned asbestos mine areas in Korea. In this study serpentine rocks and asbestos bearing roofing slate were spectrally analyzes and roofing slate was detected on EO-1 Hyperion imagery.

Overlap-based feature weighting: The feature extraction of Hyperspectral remote sensing imagery
Hyperspectral sensors provide a large number of spectral bands. This massive and complex data structure of hyperspectral images presents a challenge to traditional data processing techniques. Therefore, reducing the dimensionality of hyperspectral images without losing important information is a very important issue for the remote sensing community. We propose to use overlap-based feature weigh...

The ultramafic rocks from the Takht-e-Soleyman metamorphic complex, in Precambrian age, are classified as serpentinized metaperidotites and serpentinites, based on degree of serpentinization. Serpentine forms more than 90 volume% of the serpentinites. On the basis of serpentine polymorphs, textural relations and micro-structure features, variety of serpentinites are determined as massive serpen...

Asbestos is characterised by a unique set of physical and chemical properties, which has led to its many applications [28], such as roofing coatings: flat and corrugated sheets, floors, water supply pipes, textiles, rope, cord and yarn, paper, friction and composition materials, household products, plastic fillers, clutches, brake linings, gaskets and pads for automobiles [30]. Asbestos‐cement ...

Asbestos may be naturally present in rocks and soils. In some cases, there is the possibility of releasing asbestos fibres into the atmosphere from the rock or soil, subsequently exposing workers and the general population, which can lead to an increased risk of developing asbestos-related diseases. In the present study, air contaminated with asbestos fibres released from serpentinites was inve...
