Abstract

Geologists have long valued satellite imagery in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) part of the electromagnetic spectrum (1100–2500 nm) because it can reveal subtle differences in minerology and soil moisture that are otherwise invisible, but the low spatial resolution (20-30 m) of publicly available SWIR imagery has limited its utility for archaeological investigations. As part of a NASA-funded research project, this paper presents results of an effort to evaluate the potential of higher resolution (3.7 m), 8-band SWIR imagery from the WorldView-3 satellite programme to aid in the identification and mapping of archaeological sites and landscape features in the Fertile Crescent. With case studies in the Amuq Plain of southern Turkey, the Khabur Plain of eastern Syria, and the Diyala Plain of southern Iraq, we utilize several methods including experiments with numerous band combinations, production of band ratios designed for crop cover analysis and support vector machine (SVM) classification techniques to enhance site visibility in multispectral SWIR imagery. Results reveal some of the seasonal, land use/cover and other factors that can impact the visibility of archaeological sites and features, demonstrating the potential and pitfalls of this emerging remote sensing resource.

使用WorldView - 3短波红外(SWIR)卫星图像进行考古勘探:来自新月沃地的案例研究
地质学家长期以来一直重视电磁波谱中短波红外(SWIR)部分的卫星图像(1100–2500 nm),因为它可以揭示矿物学和土壤湿度的细微差异,而这些差异在其他方面是看不见的,但空间分辨率较低(20-30 m) 公开可用的SWIR图像限制了其在考古调查中的实用性。作为美国国家航空航天局资助的研究项目的一部分,本文介绍了评估WorldView‐3卫星计划中更高分辨率(3.7米)、8波段SWIR图像的潜力,以帮助识别和绘制肥沃新月的考古遗址和景观特征。通过在土耳其南部的Amuq平原、叙利亚东部的Khabur平原和伊拉克南部的Diyala平原进行的案例研究,我们使用了几种方法,包括大量波段组合的实验、为作物覆盖分析设计的波段比的产生以及支持向量机(SVM)分类技术,以提高多光谱SWIR图像中的站点可见性。研究结果揭示了一些季节性、土地利用/覆盖和其他因素,这些因素可能会影响考古遗址和特征的可见性,表明了这一新兴遥感资源的潜力和陷阱。

期刊介绍: The scope of the Journal will be international, covering urban, rural and marine environments and the full range of underlying geology. The Journal will contain articles relating to the use of a wide range of propecting techniques, including remote sensing (airborne and satellite), geophysical (e.g. resistivity, magnetometry) and geochemical (e.g. organic markers, soil phosphate). Reports and field evaluations of new techniques will be welcomed. Contributions will be encouraged on the application of relevant software, including G.I.S. analysis, to the data derived from prospection techniques and cartographic analysis of early maps. Reports on integrated site evaluations and follow-up site investigations will be particularly encouraged. The Journal will welcome contributions, in the form of short (field) reports, on the application of prospection techniques in support of comprehensive land-use studies. The Journal will, as appropriate, contain book reviews, conference and meeting reviews, and software evaluation. All papers will be subjected to peer review.
