Abstract

Mine wastes constitute an alarming source of pollution that threatens soils, vegetation and human health around Jebel Hallouf-Bouaouane mine site. Because of their widespread geographical distribution; their location and extent, the characterization of mine wastes using traditional field work alone is both costly and inefficient. In this study, we explore remote sensing techniques based on multispectral and multisensor data fusion. Our contribution consists in enhanced mine wastes map for environmental impact detection using both SPOT 5 (Satellite Pour l’ Observation de la Terre 5) panchromatic (Pan) and Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus ETM+ multispectral (MS) data. The linear spectral unmixing of the hybrid image show results with respect to the field truth. The inter-comparison of maps indicates that this methodology can be applied successfully to multispectral data for multi-temporal monitoring of mine wastes.
