Discrimination of Oman exotics using Landsat and ASTER satellite data

2nd International Conference on Geology

Rajendran Sankaran

Sultan Qaboos University, Oman

Abstract
Applications of remotely sensed satellite data are wide and unique in mapping of different lithology, economic mineral resources and ore deposits. The �Oman exotics� are the industrial rocks which have economic importance in the Sultanate of Oman. The present study maps the exotics using Landsat ETM and ASTER satellite data and image processing method namely decorrelation stretching and shows the advantages of the sensors to the discrimination of the exotics. The results of study are verified in the field. The samples of exotics collected from the field are measured to study the spectral absorption to map the exotics.
