Abstract:

Remote sensing monitoring of mine is an important survey work for exploitation of mineral resources, reorganization and standardization the order of mining industry by Ministry of Land and Resources in recent years. Chromitites mining area in Luobusa is the main chromitites production mine region in China.The exploitation intensity of mineral resources increases year by year due to the rapid development of national economy. In order to promote the sustainable development of the mining economy and environment, this article selects the WorldView-2 remote sensing data and profoundly analyzes remote sensing image characteristic of different surface features in the mine development process. Through field verification, we take advantage of WorldView-2 high spatial resolution remotely sensed data to establish the remote sensing interpretation keys of mine features so as to clarify development situation and ecological environment of this mineral area, and then conduct statistics and analysis of mining conditions and environment. Based on remote sensing monitoring of mine, reasonable suggestions about mine environmental recovery are given. Results show that WorldView-2 are with rich information and high precision of interpretation due to its high spatial resolution, panchromatic and eight multi-spectral bands, can obtain good effect in the remote sensing monitoring.

Key words: remote sensing monitoring of mine, WorldView-2, identification of surface feature, Luobusa, Tibet
