Using Imagery to Find Gold-Bearing Alteration Zones Customer Challenge Remotely sensed imagery provides up-to-date, accurate information about geographic areas of interest and is of critical importance in many oil, gas and mining applications. Information extracted from imagery is used by professionals in these industries to address problems ranging from the selection and development of exploration areas to the analysis of spill mitigation and remediation efforts. Data derived from imagery targets field work, reduces costs and helps achieve faster results. Researchers from Saint Louis University wanted to utilize imagery and geologic information to evaluate traditional methods and develop new methods for finding gold deposits in specific areas of the world while keeping costs low and
