A retrieval model of surface geochemistry composition based on remotely sensed data

Abstract

Abstract The geochemical sampling work in the difficult and dangerous areas is very hard; hence, it can be greatly improved by combining with the remotely sensed data. Thus, a retrieval model is proposed by Kernel Principal Component Analysis and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) optimized Support Vector Machine (SVM) models based on Landsat 8 remotely sensed data and the geochemical data in the study area. The analysis results show that the geochemical data delineate the areas with relatively enriched elements, but indicate the low-abnormal ore (chemical) points, and the anomalies delineated by the inversion data are better for this purpose, for better indication. At the same time, the distribution and intensity of the corresponding abnormal areas found that the abnormal areas delineated by the inversion data basically contain the abnormal areas delineated by the original data, and the anomalies located at the ore spots are obviously enhanced; it shows that the SVM model of ABC Optimization can establish the relation between geochemistry data and remote sensing data, can supply the original data effectively, and can also provide the direction for the next prospecting work.
