[0032] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a remote sensing prospecting method for polymetallic deposits disclosed in this invention. Detailed Implementation
[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this invention discloses a remote sensing prospecting method for polymetallic deposits, comprising the following steps:
[0035] The geomorphological features of mineral deposits are determined by a pre-defined mineral exploration theory and used as mineral exploration indicators. Remote sensing images of the mineral exploration indicator areas are then obtained.
[0036] The remote sensing image is preprocessed, feature vectors and feature values are calculated based on band data, and the data is segmented according to the calculated feature values and feature vectors to obtain the segmented image;
[0037] The difference extraction network is constructed, sample training is performed on the difference extraction network, the segmented image is input into the trained difference extraction network, and a processed image is obtained.
[0038] It is judged whether the processed image is a mineral deposit image.
[0039] Further, the preset prospecting theory includes:
[0040] Based on the type of the polymetallic deposit, the ore-controlling elements of the preset area are analyzed to establish a source-reservoir-cap mode of the preset area.
[0041] The source-reservoir-cap mode is combined with the geological features of the preset area to establish a prospecting theory.
[0042] Specifically, the structure is the trace left by the displacement and deformation of the rock or rock mass under stress, which not only provides a channel for the migration of ore-bearing hydrothermal fluid, but also generates high temperature and high pressure in the movement process, causing rock melting and metamorphism, promoting the flow and aggregation of ore-forming materials, and further providing a favorable ore-forming environment for the formation of polymetallic ore. Lithology refers to some properties that reflect the characteristics of rocks, such as color, composition, structure, etc. It not only provides necessary sources for mineralization, but also provides storage space and cap rock, which is closely related to mineralization. Lithology containing ore-forming materials provides a source for the formation of polymetallic ore, flowing lithology provides a medium for the formation of polymetallic ore, and lithology with high porosity provides storage space for the formation of polymetallic ore. Alteration minerals are minerals that change in composition, structure and structure due to changes in temperature and pressure during rock and mineralization. It not only reflects the physical and chemical conditions of mineralization, the properties and evolution process of ore-forming hydrothermal fluid, but also provides information on the migration, enrichment and precipitation of ore-forming elements. Further, based on the prospecting theory, the differences in topographic material characteristics of the preset area are displayed through remote sensing images, and remote sensing prospecting marks are established.
[0043] To predict the type of mineral, the location of ore body and the degree of mineralization and enrichment using the information obtained by analyzing the above ore-controlling elements. It is necessary to summarize and summarize the above various ore-controlling elements, and establish a preliminary source-reservoir-cap mode (the source-reservoir-cap mode describes the process of mineral deposit formation, preservation and enrichment. This mode considers biological factors, reservoir capacity and cap rock in the earth's crust, and has guiding significance for the formation of mineral deposits in a specific area). When the source-reservoir-cap mode is combined with the geological features of a specific area, the geological background, structural characteristics, lithology distribution, mineralization and other factors of the area can be further refined and improved. Through the study of the formation mechanism of the mineral deposit in the specific area, mineral exploration, resource evaluation and mineral deposit development can be better guided.
[0044] Further, the remote sensing image is acquired to determine the ore prospecting mark, the differences in the topographic material characteristics of a preset area are shown through the remote sensing image, the differences in the boundary texture of the topography on both sides of the structure in the preset area are shown through the remote sensing image, and a structure mark is established;
[0045] The differences in the material composition of the intrusive rock and the surrounding rock in the preset area are shown through the remote sensing image, and a lithology mark is established;
[0046] The differences in the material composition of the altered mineral components and the surrounding rock in the preset area are shown through the remote sensing image, and an altered mineral mark is established.
[0047] Specifically, the differences in the topographic landscape, material composition and attributes of the mining area are different from those of the general area. They will cause the spectrum, hue and texture of the mining area on the remote sensing image to be abnormal, thereby becoming a direct remote sensing ore prospecting mark. For example, the topography, hue and texture anomalies on both sides of the structure can be shown to establish a structure mark; the differences in the material composition of the intrusive rock and the surrounding rock can be shown to cause the hue, texture and ring structure anomalies of the intrusive rock and the surrounding rock on the image, thereby establishing a lithology mark; the differences in the material composition of the altered mineral components and the surrounding rock in the altered zone can be shown to cause the hue and spectrum anomalies of the altered mineral components and the surrounding rock on the remote sensing image, thereby establishing an altered mineral mark. Further, the differences in the trace elements, water content and water content between the toxic vegetation and the normal vegetation in the mining area can be shown to cause the hue and spectrum variations on the image, which can also be used as a remote sensing ore prospecting mark.
[0048] Further, the remote sensing image includes the remote sensing images of the same wave band before and after the same phase of the same area.
[0049] Further, obtaining the segmented image includes:
[0050] The remote sensing image is preprocessed in a manner including debounding processing and interference removal processing to obtain a preprocessed remote sensing image;
[0051] The preprocessed remote sensing image is calculated by spatial data set analysis to obtain a wave band covariance matrix, and then the characteristic vector and the characteristic value are obtained;
[0052] The segmented image is obtained by data segmentation according to the calculated characteristic vector and characteristic value.
[0053] Further, the difference extraction network includes:
[0054] The feature extraction module is configured to extract multi-scale feature maps of the segmented image and perform normalization output; the box generation module is configured to generate a proposal box according to the feature map, and generate the proposal box on the feature map output by the feature extraction network using a sliding window, and use two convolution kernels on the sliding window to respectively predict the bounding box and the category of the target to be detected in the original image corresponding to the window, and output the center coordinates, width and height of the proposal region; the alignment module is configured to align the proposal box and the feature map, and serve as an input of a classification, bounding box regression and segmentation branch in the change area detection module;
[0055] The change detection module is configured to perform classification, bounding box regression and pixel-level segmentation processing on the features output by the alignment layer, and optimize the convolutional neural network model using a multi-task feature function, and then perform classification, bounding box regression and pixel-level segmentation tasks, and use image segmentation to achieve accurate change area positioning, and output a change area image.
[0056] Further, the change detection module further includes training and optimizing the difference extraction network using a multi-task feature function, and the training method includes:
[0057] initializing the model weight of the difference extraction network;
[0058] using a data augmentation technique to expand the number of training sample data of different time images in a preset area, and after translating the original image in the training sample data by 0-30% in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, flipping, randomly rotating by 0-45°, and then translating and flipping again;
[0059] using a back propagation algorithm and a stochastic gradient descent algorithm to perform end-to-end training on the difference extraction network, and updating the model parameters of the difference extraction network.
[0060] Further, whether the image is a deposit image can be determined by setting a threshold, comparing a standard image, and comprehensively judging the features in the image in combination with the experience and knowledge of geologists. If the image contains features that meet the remote sensing prospecting criteria for deposits, such as specific structural anomalies, lithological anomalies, or alteration mineral anomalies, etc., it can be preliminarily determined that the image is a deposit image.
[0061] Based on the judgment result of the deposit image, the type of the mineral, the location of the ore body, and the degree of mineralization enrichment can be further predicted. For example, the type of the mineral can be inferred from the spectral characteristics of the alteration minerals in the image; the approximate location of the ore body can be determined by analyzing the distribution characteristics of the structure and lithology; and the degree of mineralization enrichment can be evaluated in combination with the range and intensity of the abnormal area in the image. These prediction results can provide important guidance for subsequent mineral exploration and resource development, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of prospecting.
