Spectral Absorption Feature Analysis for Finding Ore: A Tutorial on Using the Method in Geological Remote Sensing

The focus of this tutorial is on the use of spectral information to derive quantitative information on the absorption features and spatial distribution patterns of minerals and rocks from spectral information. Hence, the remainder of this introduction focuses on optical remote sensing in the visible to shortwave infrared wavelength region, and in particular on hyperspectral remote sensing (imaging spectrometry).
