Abstract:

According to Maxium Likelihood Method and TM data, we conducted the automatic taxonomy of rock in the Mirror Peninsula of the Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica. Five kinds of rock were identified. They are: ①Gneissic Leucogranite, ②Syenogranite, ③High Al Fe gneisses,④Migmatite,⑤Striped migmatite.The reliability is 82 precent. This method is useful in Antarctica and it is economic and efficient method.Development of satellite borne polar remote sensing in the geology has good prospects.
