Applicability of Earth Observation for Identifying Small-Scale Mining Footprints in a Wet Tropical Region

Applicability of Earth Observation for Identifying Small-Scale Mining Footprints in a Wet Tropical Region

The unpredictable climate in wet tropical regions along with the spatial resolution limitations of some satellite imageries make detecting and mapping artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) challenging. The objective of this study was to test the utility of Pleiades and SPOT imagery with an object-b...
