陕西铜川地区黏土型锂矿卫星高光谱遥感锂含量定量反演与找矿
Quantitative Inversion of Lithium Content and Exploration of Clay-Type Lithium Deposits Using Satellite Hyperspectral Remote Sensing in Tongchuan, Shaanxi Province
为实现基于卫星高光谱影像的锂含量空间分布制图以支持找矿工作,以富锂黏土岩的实测光谱、XRD(X-ray Diffraction)、锂含量及ZY1-02D高光谱影像为基础,采用多算法结合的技术路线,构建锂含量反演模型.通过ETNN(Ensemble Transformer Neural Network)回归算法建立定量反演模型,结合SSEE-SAM(Spatial Spectral Endmember Extraction-Spectral Angle Mapper)识别矿化露头,并采用CORAL(CORrelation Alignment)进行光谱域校正,然后应用最优模型生成锂含量空间分布图.训练集R²=0.93、RPD=3.91、RMSE=110.13,测试集R²=0.89、RPD=3.08、RMSE=183.04,表明模型具有较高准确性和较强拟合能力;野外验证集R²=0.75、RPD=2.02、RMSE=263.86,表明模型具有很强的泛化能力.相关系数表明锂与蒙脱石、绿泥石关系最为密切,重要性分析表明2 132~2 350 nm波段为反演模型的关键波段.本研究构建了一套从光谱到锂含量的反演技术体系,可为铜川地区及滇中盆地、黔中盆地黏土型锂矿找矿勘查提供技术支撑.
To achieve satellite-based hyperspectral mapping of lithium spatial distribution to support mineral exploration efforts, a lithium content inversion model was developed using a multi-algorithm approach, based on spectral data, XRD analysis, lithium content measurements, and hyperspectral imagery from the ZY1-02D site. The quantitative inversion model was established using the Ensemble Transformer Neural Network (ETNN) regression algorithm. This model was integrated with Spatial Spectral Endmember Extraction-Spectral Angle Mapper (SSEE-SAM) for mineralized outcrop identification and supplemented with the CORrelation Alignment (CORAL) algorithm for spectral domain correction. The quantitative inversion model was then applied to generate a spatial distribution map of lithium content. Training set R²=0.93, RPD=3.91, RMSE=110.13; validation set R²=0.89, RPD=3.08, RMSE=183.04, indicate high accuracy and strong fitting capability; field test set R²=0.75, RPD=2.02, RMSE=263.86, demonstrate robust generalization ability. Correlation coefficients indicate that lithium exhibits the strongest association with montmorillonite and chlorite. Importance analysis reveals the 2 132-2 350 nm wavelength band as critical for the inversion model. This study establishes a comprehensive inversion methodology linking spectral data to lithium content, providing technical support for exploration of clay-type lithium deposits in the Tongchuan region, Central Yunnan basin, and Central Guizhou basin.
