Abstract:

Mineralization-alteration information extraction and structural interpretation are of great significance for metallogenic prediction. Fractal theory can be used to reveal the fine structure of hidden information in complex terrain features, in the field of remote sensing geology, and the theories and new methods for remote sensing mineralization/alteration information extraction and quantitative analysis of geological/structural interpretations. This study mainly used Landsat-8 OLI images and related geological data to study the alteration and structural fractal characteristics of the Duobaoshan area in Heilongjiang Province, based on analysis theory. The interference removal+band ratio+principal component analysis+fractal threshold segmentation method was used to extract the alteration anomaly information. Dimension contour map of linear structure and alteration was obtained by box dimension method of fractal theory, and its spatial distribution and fractal characteristics were analyzed. The structural and alteration information were superimposed to compare with the high value area of structural and alteration fractal dimension, and with the metallogenic geological background. The results show that the high-value area of remote sensing alteration fractal dimension coincides with the alteration data-intensive area, and the structural fractal results are consistent with the spatial distribution of ore-forming structures. The superimposed information combines the advantages of the two, i.e., eliminates interference, narrows the exploration scope, and more effectively highlights the favorable ore-forming sites. Here, the fractal feature analysis method of remote sensing alteration anomaly and structural information superposition is first applied. This method can increase the utilization and accuracy of remote sensing information, and is also more consistent with the actual metallogenic geological background and exploration results. It can be used as a new theory and method for comprehensive prospecting prediction of remote sensing data, and provides theoretical basis and prospecting direction for future exploration work in the area.
