Abstract
The recently deployed hyperspectral spaceborne Visible to Shortwave Infrared (VNIRSWIR) wavelength sensors heralds a major development in geological remote sensing. These advances, together with airborne and spaceborne Thermal Infrared (TIR) wavelength sensors instruments, provide a wealth of new data for geoscientists. Such sensors follow the continuing extensive geological application of archived and currently acquired imagery from traditional multispectral VNIRSWIR and TIR systems. In addition, there has been an ongoing development in algorithms applied to remote sensing imagery for mapping of mineralogy or thermal related properties. The effective application scale can vary from continental to exploration (e.g. mining industry) scales, depending on the image swath, temporal frequency, sensor resolution, signal to noise and the correction of atmospheric effects. These are still important issues in the application of geological remote sensing using such new sensors. This chapter is designed to provide a background of key principles, past developments, and the details and issues of the technology advances relevant for mineral mapping and geothermal case studies.
