Abstract
We have developed new methods for enhanced surface material identification and mapping that
integrate visible to near infrared (VNIR, ~0.4 – 1 μm), short wave infrared (SWIR, ~1 – 2.5 μm),
and long wave infrared (LWIR, ~8 – 12 μm) multispectral and hyperspectral imagery. This
approach produces a single map of surface composition derived from the full spectral range. We
applied these methods to a spectrally diverse region around Mountain Pass, CA. A comparison of
the integrated results with those obtained from analyzing the spectral ranges individually reveals
compositional information not exhibited by the VNIR, SWIR or LWIR data alone. We also evaluate
the benefit of hyperspectral rather than multispectral LWIR data for this integrated approach.
