Ivan Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hello! I am new to the GIS world and as such have very limited knowledge of image analysis. My interest lies in identifying geothemal springs and mapping them. Large springs like Grand Prismatic Springs in Yellowstone can be observed on thermal imagery as seen in the attachment below (red arrow on the left). It creates a reproducible thermal "fingerprint" year after year. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding how to best scan/detect these thermal "fingerprints" over a large area. Is there software that will automatically compare images for these "fingerprints"? Perhaps something like this automatic landslide detection that compares images and indicates the probability of a Geothermal spring? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Lurker Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 geothermal detection, you can use thermal based images from satellites, many product offer this, you can search any images with infrared bands. something like this ; http://www.asiageospatialforum.org/2011/proceeding/pps/Mona%20Natalia_AGF.pdf many research papers talk bout this topic if you want to compare, then simply using multi temporal images, happy learning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dbu Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 nice paper, interest topic, useful for get better skill in temperature analyst with remote sensing, regards and good luck in the learning process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
