Ratio techniques for geochemical remote sensing

Abstract

The present work discusses spectral ratio methods for extracting information on the composition of minerals and rocks from 0.4-14-micron multispectral scanner data. Ratio images and automatic recognition maps based on spectral ratios have the advantages of covering nearly all wavelength regions of important geochemical information, being relatively insensitive to atmospheric and solar illumination variations, and having definable limits of accuracy concerning the capability of discriminating between important geochemical targets and background materials.
