The invention relates to a
hyperspectral image processing method for extracting the information of
jarosite, wherein the
wave band of
jarosite, obvious in spectral features, is reserved. According to the method, the images of 980 nm, 1355 nm, 1415 nm, 1460 nm, 1550 nm, 1595 nm, 1790 nm, 2015 nm, 2075 nm, 2120 nm, 2225 nm, 2255 nm, 2330 nm and 2405 nm in
wave band are extracted to be subjected to a series of judgment and calculation. Therefore, the abundance valves of
jarosite in different areas can be calculated within the image range. Based on the above method, wave bands, which are not obvious in spectral features, are removed, so that the spectral features of jarosite can be emphasized during the
information extraction process. The influence of other ground features or the
noise can be relieved, and the to-be-processed data volume is reduced. Moreover, the information of a final result can be extracted based on the small amount of manual operation by utilizing the IDL program. As a result, the accuracy and the speed of the jarosite
information extraction are improved.
