用深度学习从遥感数据中自动识别矿化相关的蚀变带，提升找矿效率。

Traditional geological mapping, based on field observations and rock sample analysis, is inefficient for continuous spatial mapping of features like alteration zones. Deep learning models, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have revolutionised remote sensing data analysis by automatically extracting features for classification and regression tasks. CNNs can detect specific mineralogical changes linked to mineralisation by identifying subtle features in remote sensing data. This study uses CNNs with Landsat 8, Landsat 9, and ASTER data to map alteration zones north of Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia. The model is trained using ground truth data and an automated approach with selective principal component analysis (PCA). We compare CNNs with traditional machine learning models, including k-nearest neighbours, support vector machines, and multilayer perceptron. Results show that ground truth-based training yields more reliable maps, with CNNs slightly outperforming conventional models in capturing spatial patterns. Landsat 9 outperforms Landsat 8 in mapping iron oxide areas using ground truth-trained CNNs, while ASTER data provides the most accurate argillic and propylitic alteration maps. This highlights CNNs' effectiveness in improving geological mapping precision, especially for identifying subtle mineralisation-related alterations.
