Information Extraction Based on SAM of ASTER Image

The extensive clayization of Dexing copper mine is responsible for water and soil pollutions because of the oxidation of sulfide minerals. During the clayization, harmful elements such as As, S, Sb and Pb could be effectively released into the clay and water. Using the abundant spectral information of short wave infrared (SWIR), combining with the spectral absorbed index, SAM (Spectrum Angle Mapper) which based on spectral matching, subtly compartmentalizes the degree of clay and distribution in copper mine.
