Hyperspectral data is a powerful tool for mineral explorations and lithological discriminations. EO1-Hyperion is a space borne hyperspectral system for hyperspectral imaging which is capable of 220 spectral image channels within the range of 400 to 2500 nm wavelengths. It has advantages over airborne systems such as data cost and coverage area. Although it has many advantages, much more uncertainty exists in application period, of which this uncertainty does exist in all processing stages starting from the data preparation to the end of analysis stages. The aim of this thesis is to state the potential use of Hyperion data for lithological and mineralogical discriminations to further develop new hyperspectral image processing approach, and to improve existing preprocessing method in literature. The proposed algorithm is mainly based on atmospheric corrections and cross track illumination correction of Hyperion data. In order to achieve this, two test sites were selected. Site 1 located on the Central Anatolia, (Ekecek test site) is used for lithological discrimination and Site 2 located on West Anatolia (Biga test site) is used for mineralogical discrimination. The obtained results were compared and assessed with the field verifications, spectral measurements and existing spectral libraries. In the end of the study it is found that when proposed approach is followed hyperspectral data is proven to be a useful tool for mineralogical discrimination in mono minerallic outcrops and valuable for lithological mapping in relatively homogenous un-covered outcrops.

Alteration identification by hyperspectral remote sensing in sisorta gold prospect (Sivas-Turkey) Yetkin, Erdem; Toprak, Vedat; Department of Geological Engineering (2009) Imaging spectrometry data or hyperspectral imagery acquired using airborne systems have been used in the geologic community since the early 1980’s and represent a mature technology. The solar spectral range 0.4–2.5 μm provides abundant information about hydroxyl-bearing minerals, sulfates and carbonates common to many geologic units and hydrothermal alteration assemblages. Satellite based Hyperion image data is used to implement and test hyperspectral processing techniques to identify alteration minerals an...
Investigation of the recharge and discharge mechanisms of a complex aquifer system by using environmental isotopes and noble gases Arslan, Şebnem; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Department of Geological Engineering (2008) This study aims to determine the recharge, discharge and the mixing mechanisms of a complex aquifer system located above the Kazan trona ore field using the environmental isotopes of deuterium, oxygen-18, carbon-13 and carbon-14, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC- 11, CFC-12 and CFC-113) and the noble gas isotopes (He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe). The groundwater system consists of three different aquifers: shallow, middle and deep. The Akpınar formation lying between deep and middle systems acts as an aquitard. Oxygen-18 an...
Meter scale cycles in the eocene Çayraz Formation (Haymana Basin) and response of foraminifers to cyclicity Erbaş (Geyikçioğlu), Bedia; Altıner, Demir; Department of Geological Engineering (2008) The aim of this study is to investigate the nature of the meter-scale cycles in the Çayraz Formation of the Middle Eocene age and to study the response of foraminifera to the sedimentary cyclicity. In order to perform this study, two stratigraphic sections, which are 44,55 m and 25,95 m in thickness, were measured on a regularly bedded succession mainly composed of carbonates and siliciclastics in the Çayraz Formation of the Haymana Basin. In this study, detailed microfacies analyses were carried out in the...
EFFICIENT SPARSITY-BASED INVERSION FOR PHOTON-SIEVE SPECTRAL IMAGERS WITH TRANSFORM LEARNING Kamaci, Ulas; Akyon, Fatih C.; Alkanat, Tunc; Öktem, Sevinç Figen (2017-01-01) We develop an efficient and adaptive sparse reconstruction approach for the recovery of spectral images from the measurements of a photon-sieve spectral imager (PSSI). PSSI is a computational imaging technique that enables higher resolution than conventional spectral imagers. Each measurement in PSSI is a superposition of the blurred spectral images; hence, the inverse problem can be viewed as a type of multi-frame deconvolution problem involving multiple objects. The transform learning-based approach recon...
Geoarchaeological investigations in Zeugma, Turkey Karaca, Ceren; Toprak, Vedat; Department of Geological Engineering (2008) The purpose of this study is to investigate the geological and morphological features around ancient city of Zeugma. To achieve this, a geological map of Zeugma excavation site is prepared; an aerial photographic survey and morphological analyses are conducted on a broader area. Additionally, the biggest ancient quarry in the study area is investigated. In the close vicinity of Zeugma, four lithologies which are, from bottom to top, clayey limestone, thick bedded limestone, chalky limestone and cherty limes...
