Based on hyperspectral data mining techniques and characteristics of imaging spectrum, Hyperion satellite hyperspectral data are used to study the diagnosable spectral signatures and quantitatively extract the absorption spectral features of sandstone-hosted uranium deposits in northern China. In terms of information extraction approach and the processing method of extra-abundance data, we have...

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the value of the proposed Hyperspectral Infrared Imager (HyspIRI) instrument for geological mapping applications. HyspIRI-like data were collected as part of the HyspIRI airborne campaign that covered large regions of California, USA, over multiple seasons. This work focused on a Southern California area, which encompasses Imperial Valley, the Salton...

This paper analyzes and summarizes the numerous types of variations of groundwater pressures (heads), mid-oceanic ridge borehole temperatures and microseismicity in response to tidal forcing in coastal aquifers and deep sea sediments. Tidally related data obtained from various sources were filtered and processed by means of classical harmonic analysis to extract the amplitudes of pressure and t...

The seismic microzonation evaluate the seismic hazard at the local scale proposing to identify areas of territory characterized by homogeneous seismic behaviors. The first level of seismic microzoning has the purpose of defining the lithological properties and geometry of geological units that characterize these portions of territory (microzones). The scope of this work is to contribute to the ...

Numerical modelling of geological processes, such as mantle convection, flow in porous media, and geothermal heat transfer, has become quite common with the increase in computing and the availability of usable software. Today modelling these dynamical processes entails the solving of the governing equations involving the mass, momentum, energy and chemical transport. These equations represent p...

Engineering excavation GIS (EGIS) is a real-3D GIS serving for geosciences related to geo-engineering, civil engineering and mining engineering based on generalized tri-prism (GTP) model. As two instances of GTP model, G-GTP is used for the real-3D modeling of subsurface geological bodies, and E-GTP is used for the real-3D modeling of subsurface engineering excavations. Based on the discussions...

Several key techniques in 3D geological modeling including planar mesh generation, spatial interpolation, and surface intersection are summarized in this paper. Note that these techniques are generic and widely used in various applications but play a key role in 3D geological modeling. There are two essential procedures in 3D geological modeling: the first is the simulation of geological interf...

The display of three dimensional geological body can visually describe the complex subsurface geological structure, effectively improve the engineer's space imagination and intuitively understand the geological spatial relationship. Through analysis of commonly used three dimensional geological data model and considered the impact of faults. The paper establishes a generalized triangular prism ...

The principal component analysis enhances the contrast existing between the different cover types present in an Imagery. A procedure is presented in this paper with regards to the determination of the principal components. The method is tested for a portion of the LANDSAT imagery pertaining to Anantapur region. Another technique, using the concept of non-linear contrast stretching is defined an...
