For the purposes of mapping silicate rocks, carbonate rocks, and clay minerals in hydrothermal alteration zones, two new indices derived from ASTER thermal infrared emissivity data were developed to identify silicate rocks, and existing indices were adopted to indicate the distribution of carbonate rocks and the species and amounts of clay mineral. In addition, another new method was developed to visualize the topography from DEM data. The lithological indices and topographical information were integrated using the hue\u2013saturation\u2013value (HSV) color model. The resultant integrated image was evaluated by field survey and through comparison with the results of previous studies in the Cuprite and Goldfield areas, Nevada, USA. It was confirmed that the proposed method can be used to visualize geological information and that the resulting images can easily be interpreted from a geological point of view.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11020162","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,17]],"date-time":"2019-01-17T11:30:27Z","timestamp":1547724627000},"page":"162","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Integration and Visualization of Mineralogical and Topographical Information Derived from ASTER and DEM Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Kana","family":"Kurata","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Nagoya University, D2-1 (510) Furo-cho, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya 464-8601, Japan"},{"name":"NTT Media Intelligence Laboratories, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, 1-1 Hikarinooka, Yokosuka 239-0847, Japan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2554-1060","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yasushi","family":"Yamaguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Nagoya University, D2-1 (510) Furo-cho, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya 464-8601, Japan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"112","article-title":"Multi- and hyperspectral geologic remote sensing: A review","volume":"14","author":"Hecker","year":"2012","journal-title":"Int.
