Added
Alteration-Mineral Images to the ASTER Image Download page in the Image
Analysis Tool. Four alteration-mineral images are available in PNG
format with PGW world files. These images were produced using standard
combinations of the ASTER bands. The four images can be used to map the
relative abundance of siliceous rocks, iron oxides, sericite and illite, and
alunite and/or kaolinite. See the
Fieldwork 2005 article
for processing information on these images. The images are in UTM
projection. As the colour scaling is unique to each image, the colours
should not be compared between images. |
