USING
REMOTE SENSING & GIS INPUTS
VERSION 2.0

ABHISHEK KUMAR AYACHI

 Needs
Ample data is available on all issues that go into decisions making in
mining and explorations
With the expansion of the industry as a whole the data volume has
risen exponentially
Because of share volume of data ,all data does not go into decision
making
User friendly interface for non-GIS professional

MRIS v 2.0 ………… this solution fulfils the data requirement and
coupled with artificial capability ,useful information can go into
decision making process
 Aim and Objectives
Conceptualisation & development of
Mineral Resources Information System

1. Non-spatial information on mineral deposits such as geology,Mining,

Production,environment,chemical analysis etc

2. Spatial information related to ground control points of mineral deposits

3. Relation between spatial and non-spatial information

4. Extract user defined information from spatial data and/or correlated with
non-spatial data (for better use as per their needs) by using MRIS

5. The final product should be upgrade their level in the name of information
system

6. The final product will not only produce information by user inputs but also
produce information (some thing more) in the form of spatial and/or related to
non-spatial

7. Packaging of MRIS as a software product

 Methodology
1) Literature review to understand geology & geomorphology
of the region
2) Visual and digital analysis of IRS,TM,ERS-SAR data
3) Conceptualisation of MRIS,software and hardware selection
4) MRIS prototype development using visual basic
5) Ground truthing,field data collection and user interaction
for assessment of components of MRIS
6) Data analysis integration and finalisation of components of
MRIS
7) Development of MRIS
8) Opinion of expert and users
9) Packaging of MRIS as a software product
 In the present scenario …..
Why we need option of analysis in MRIS
Remote sensing is vast subject and used in different fields like Geology,

Geomorphology,Hydrogeology,Environmental geology,,Human settlements,

Water shade Management,Soil,Agriculture &Forestry etc

Approx 40%-60% spatial & non-spatial information are commonly used

in all the applications

Most of the GIS layers (like:land use,land cover)are commonly used in all the

applications

If image processing like histogram equalization is useful for minerals but linear

stretch is useful for finding the linear features like roads railway etc

Maximum information extracted by MRIS can use in different other application

Most of the applications requires common types of information but
Only the wattage of information are change for finding the
potential Zone

Defined spatial layers give information for particular mineral but if

we need (some thing) information of associated adjacent mineral

or exposed Intrusive they need some different image processing

for better interpretation

MRIS is not bound for only mineral deposits but they also used for
other application & extract other final imagery which is user
defined as per their needs

 Queries for Non-Spatial information extraction

Query on non-spatial information like what was the last year

production on Joda mining block

Which block is producing less than the average of last 3years

Leading to revenue loss

What is the grade wise production of a mine

Comparison of various grades of ore production for last 3 years

 Queries for Spatial information extraction

Multi date data analysis

Multi resolution data analysis

Those information which are not used in a project time is extract by

analysis in other project in the same area

 Conclusion
Remote sensing data products (IRS-LISS,Wifs;TM and ERS-SAR)provide
wealth of Information on geology and mining of the region

The study demonstrated that an information system with spatial and non-
spatial Information can be developed and can be used by clients without
expensive commercial GIS packages

In the present case only for preparing spatial data layers , GIS and DIP
packages were used ,for data access ,display and query and updating of
spatial and non-spatial data , MRIS was used

Visual basic was found suitable for handling all types of spatial and non-
spatial data For developing MRIS

The system can be packaged and given to users who can update the database
and use it as per their needs

Such MRIS can be easily develop for other mineral deposits of the world
