Extraction of ore-search information of uranium deposit based on multi-source remote sensing data

Abstract

Currently, contradiction between the supply and demand of uranium resources is increasing. Remote sensing technology, as one of key technoligies of “Digital Globe”, has brought into playing important action in prospecting for uranium resources. With the development of remote sensing, the resolution of spatial, spectral and temporal has being improved quickly. In addition, Tarim Basin is an important uranium mineralized region in our country. In this study, multi-source remote sensing data were used to successfully extract the information of ore-bearing bed, ore-control structure and mineralized alteration in Wuqia-Kuche area in Tarim Basin. This study undoubtedly has an important practical and theoretic meaning to advance prospecting technique level and improve ore-finding effect and efficiency.
