Fagin and Zeinhom El Alfy and Yang Hong},  journal={International Journal of Remote Sensing},  year={2016},  volume={37},  pages={1762 - 1776},  url={https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:130031797}}
ABSTRACT The Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) classification technique is integrated with the surface structure and aeromagnetic data to map the potential gold mineralization sites associated within alteration zones in Central Eastern Desert (CED), Egypt. The surface reflectances of the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) and the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data were classified using the SAM classifier. Five spectral reflectance curves of the alteration…
