Applicability of a Two Dimensional, Digitally Integrating, Silicon Vidicon System in the Detection of Natural Resources.
Abstract
The feasibility of using a two-dimensional, digitally integrating, silicon vidicon system to differentiate terrestrial rock structure and mineralization was explored. The instrumentation was tested for its ability to: differentiate minerals; resolve detailed mineralized rock structure; enhance imagery of rock structure and/or mineralized features using computer software techniques; identify mineralogy without prior ground truth; distinguish altered from unaltered rock units associated with porphyry copper deposits; and perform as a practical geophysical tool in the field. It is concluded that the vidicon system using remote-sensing techniques is a potentially powerful geophysical tool.
