The WWGF is located at wide area covering about 40 km2. An accurate method to map the distribution of heterogeneity minerals is necessary for wide areas such as WWGF. Mineral mapping is an important method in geothermal explorations to determine the distribution of minerals which indicate the surface manifestations of geothermal system. This study is aimed to determine the most precise and accurate methods for minerals mapping at geothermal field. Field measurements were performed to assess the accuracy of three proposed methods: 1) Minimum Noise Fraction (MNF), utilizing the linear transformation method to eliminate the correlation among the spectra bands and to reduce the noise in the data, 2) Pixel Purity Index (PPI), a designed method to find the most extreme spectrum pixels and their characteristics due to end-members mixing, 3) Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM), an image classification technique by measuring the spectral similarity between an unknown object with spectral reference in n- dimension. The output of those methods were mineral distribution occurrence. The performance of each mapping method was analyzed based on the ground truth data. Among the three proposed method, the SAM classification method is the most appropriate and accurate for mineral mapping related to spatial distribution of alteration minerals.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]geothermal manifestations,Mineral mapping,Minimum noise fraction,Pixel purity index,Spectral angle mappers[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]geothermal manifestations,mineral mapping,Minimum Noise Fraction,Pixel Purity Index,Spectral Angle Mapper[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/42/1/012007[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
