Multi-Modal Deep Embedded Clustering (MM-DEC): A Novel Framework for Mineral Detection Using Hyperspectral Imagery by Priyanka Nair, Devesh Kumar Srivastava, Roheet Bhatnagar

“…Hyperspectral imaging, which collects information from hundreds of narrow spectral bands, is a powerful tool that provides intricate surface information, but presents challenges due to its high-dimensionality and the complex structure of the data. To this end, we propose Multi-Modal Deep Embedded Clustering (MM-DEC) approach, an innovative unsupervised learning framework that integrates Convolutional Autoencoders(CAEs), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), and Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) based texture extraction that is able to exploit the spatial, spectral, and texture features of mineral in consideration We demonstrate the MM-DEC potential to identify hematite prospects in the mineralized Kiriburu area of Jharkhand, India using EO-1 Hyperion hyperspectral data. …”
