Lithological Mapping Using Aster Data In Kadavur Basin, Karur District, Tamil Nadu

Authors(2) :-Varsha Prem, B. Gurugnanam

ASTER VNIR - SWIR bands are used for the identification of rocks. Among the developed techniques of ASTER data analysis PCA technique is found to be useful for the identification of rocks. Analysis of ASTER data by using PCA, the band combinations of 8, 4 and 1 provides different tonal variations in different lithology. By using this band combinations in the Kadavur basin helps to identify the Anorthosite rocks. Thereby, ASTER data shows its potential in the discrimination of Anorthosite rock in Kadavur basin, Karur district, Tamil Nadu.
