Identification of minerals from hyperspectral imaging based on a fuzzy logic approach

摘要

We present a fuzzy logic approach allowing the identification of minerals from reflectance spectra acquired by hyperspectral sensors in the VNIR and SWIR ranges. The fuzzy logic system is based on a human reasoning. It compares the positions of the main and secondary absorptions of the unknown spectrum (spectral characteristics estimated beforehand) with those of a reference database (derived from mineralogieal knowledge). The proposed solution is first evaluated on laboratory spectra. It is then applied to airborne HySpex and satellite-borne PRISMA images acquired during a dedicated campaign over two quarries in France. This demonstrates the relevance of the method to automatically identify minerals in different mineralogieal contexts and in the presence of mixtures.
