the study area covers the northern part of the baft geological map (scale of 1:100 000 ). several porphyry and vein-type mineralization are reported from this area. a topic that is discussed in the mineral exploration community is the use of remote sensing and airborne geophysics for porphyry type mineralization. which one is more reliable and efficient in hydrothermal alteration mapping? airbo...

In 2001, the Antarctic Digital Magnetic Anomaly Project produced ADMAP-1 compilation that included first magnetic anomaly map of region south 60◦S. To help fill ADMAP-1’s regional coverage gaps, international geomagnetic community from 2001 through 2014 acquired an additional 2.0+ million line-km airborne and marine data. These new data together with surveys were not previously in public domain...

Polarimetric data acquired by the CCRS CV-580 airborne SAR is used to assess the capability of RADARSAT-2 for operational sea ice classification. The information content of the polarimetric data is illustrated by showing how specific scattering mechanisms are portrayed by the entropy, anisotropy and α-angle features. Ice type classes are derived from the full pol data set using a complex Wishar...

Change detection in urban areas requires the comparison of multi-temporal remote sensing data. ALS (airborne laser scanning) is one of the established techniques to deliver these data. A novelty of our approach is the consideration of multiple views that are acquired with an oblique forward-looking laser scanner. In addition to advantages in terms of data coverage, this configuration is ideally...

The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System aboard NASA’s Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite will record the height distribution of laser energy reflected from surfaces within 70 m diameter footprints. For land surfaces, post-processing of this waveform data will be used to estimate the within-footprint mean elevation and surface relief due to ground slope and roughness, vegetation cover, buildi...
