Abstract:
Mineral resources are crucial for the development and economic growth. The mining and utilization of these resources can bring significant economic benefits. With the rapid development of remote sensing technology, the technique of multi-source remote spatial superposition technique has shown great potential and advantages in mineral exploration research. Due to the unique spectral, spatial, and temporal resolution characteristics, different types of remote sensing data, such as optical, thermal infrared, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data, provide diverse information about the Earth’s surface and subsurface. By integrating data from different remote sensing platforms into a unified spatial reference framework using spatial superposition techniques, it can conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis of the mineralization environment. This approach can fully leverage the advantages of remote sensing data, obtain comprehensive and accurate geological information. All these processing steps contribute to identify potential mineral resource distribution areas. It is crucial to achieve efficient extraction and utilization of resources, and reduce the environmental damage caused by ineffective exploration and mining activities. In this paper, it focuses on the advantages and applications of multisource remote sensing data in mineral exploration, and discusses the advantages, challenges, and future trends of spatial superposition techniques in mineral detection. With the continuous advancement of remote sensing technology and improvements in data processing capabilities, it is driving the application of this technology in mineral resource exploration. This technology holds significant value not only in improving the efficiency and accuracy of mineral resource exploration but also in providing new perspectives and approaches for sustainable development of large-scale mineral resources in the future.
