Integration and digital image analysis of remotely sensed

geological

geophysical and geochemical data are gaining wide recognition as effective tools for mineral exploration.This study involves methods for integration of image processing of two-temporal LANDSAT-MSS images

geological

geophysical and geochemical data

and for a computer based mineral prospecting. In this paper

a general scheme of computer aided integrative processing of multi-source data and a digitalizing method for the qualitative geoscience data were described; a computer based mineral prospecting method

TQ2 classifier

using integrated qualitative data was designed. These methods were applied to Wubu Lead-Zinc deposit area in the south of Zhejiang Province.It is necessary and important for the integration of digitize geoscience data and of co-registered multi-source data. The analysis and interpretation of integrated data can provide much information about geological structure. The TQ2 mineral prospecting method using integrated qualitative data is effective

and the result of mineral prospecting by computer is reliable.
