Testing of hyperspectral scanner data for prospecting of ferro- eclogite in the Førdefjord area, Western Norway

Abstract

Remote sensing technology applied to resource monitoring has been carried out in the Engjebø mountain. These tests combines laboratory measurement of the reflectivity, field measurements and spectral data collected with an airborne hyperspectral scanner. Even though the field measurement on the ground indicted that a spectral separation should be possible, the spectral analyses collected by an aircraft with 10m x 10m resolution, do not give any clear detection of the rock-types. This is mostly thought to be caused by the vegetation in the area.
