Remote predictive mapping of surficial materials west of Repulse Bay, Nunavut (NTS 46M-SW, 46L-W and -S, 46K-SW) / U. Wityk, J.R. Harris, I. McMartin, J.E. Campbell, M. Ross, and E. Grunsky.: M183-2/7357E-PDF
"This report describes techniques used to create a remote predictive surficial materials map near Repulse Bay in Nunavut using classification algorithms applied to LANDSAT imagery, and tests two approaches in the iterative RPM process. The approaches are: 1) geological knowledge-based, incorporating expert knowledge and traditional mapping data, and 2) statistically-based, investigating statistical accuracies of the classifications. Based on variability maps of the most optimal classification maps, it was found that the geological knowledge-based approach is more suitable for remotely mapping materials in the study area"--Abstract, page 1.
