Aerospace multispectral and hyperspectral imagery in mining area studies

This paper reviews and discusses studies on multispectral and hyperspectral imagery. The multispectral and hyperspectral images are characterized. Parameters, advantages of spaceand air-born spectrometers Hyperion and Hymap are described. The case-study of ecological monitoring of mining areas using spectrometers Hyperion and Hymap is discussed in detail. The Hyperion and Hymap spectrometers image mineralogical composition of waste dumps and water bodies as function of their chemical composition. The dump mineralogy maps plotted suing Hyperion and Hymap images are presented with their spectral reflectance graphs. The NDVI and AMWI estimates obtained using Landsat images are given. NDVI was calculated for Bazhenov chrysotile asbestos field, and AMWI was found for water bodies in the closed Levikha mine area. From the NDVI evidence, natural healing has not yet started on Vostochny dump in Bazhenov field. The AMWI index is unrelated with Fe concentration in acid mine water in case of small water channels. it is topical to study spectral properties of objects.
