Integrated Approach for Lithological Classification Using ASTER Imagery in a Shallowly Covered Region - The Eastern Yanshan Mountain of China.

This paper studied the applicability of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data for lithological classification in the shallowly covered Eastern Yanshan Mountain of Eastern China. The interpreted objects include quartz sandstone, carbonate rock, gneiss, and andesite. An integrated approach was employed to process the remote sensing data: First, the matched filte...
