Lithologic Mapping Using LANDSAT ETM+ and ASTER Data
The performance of lithologic mapping using both ASTER and LANDSAT ETM+ data was evaluated in this paper. The results showed that different spectral regions of ASTER data produced different mapping accuracies.ASTER data obtained better performance in lithologic classification than that of using ETM+ data.Classification with all ASTER and ETM+ bands combined achieved high overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient,compared to those obtained with ASTER data or ETM+ data alone,which may indicate that both data provide complementary information for lithologic discrimination.
