Lithological Mapping using Digital Image Processing Techniques on Landsat 8 OLI Remote Sensing Data in Jahajpur, Bhilwara, Rajasthan

Abstract

Lithological mapping is important parameters for interpretation, identification and mapping of minerals. Lithological mapping in the study area defines the characteristics of nature of rock types and their association and formation. In this research study Landsat 8 OLI remote sensing data used for lithological mapping of Jahajpur region of Bhilwara super group. The task of lithological mapping completed by analogical and numerical analysis of digital image processing method which involves several digital image processing techniques such as natural band combination, false color composite, principal component analysis, band ratio and minimum noise fraction. The observed result is verified and validated by field survey and published geological survey of India geological map. The observe result have shown complete correlation and similarity with established map.
