Separation of Carbonates by Using PCA on ASTER Bands
Discussion and Conclusion
For separating carbonates into dolomite and limestone, we can use PCA analysis in order to map them. The benefit of this method is demonstrating dolomite and limestone according to their purity, that can be used in the future studies.
