Abstract:In order to further develop the advantage of remote sensing technology in mine environmental monitoring, we used multi temporal and multi type remote sensing data to investigate mine geological environment problems for the first time in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. On the basis of the analysis of mineral exploitation status, mine geological environment, and mineral resources planning, the macro and micro morphology of the mine auxiliary facilities, roads, gangue, ore heap, crack and collapse were chatacterized by using the combining method of computer automatic classification and the man-machine interactive interpretation. And a lot of basic data detailed about land occupation, mine geological disasters, mine environmental pollution and restoration, and other aspects of mine exploitation, were obtained. The relationships between mine geological environment and different mineral resources and different exploitaion way were analyzed, providing important decision-making data and technical support for the mine environment protection and governance in Xinjiang. The results show a great potential of remote sensing used in the “One Picture” Project of mine management.
