However, the available free-of-charge hyperspectral scenes cover only narrow and scattered geographic areas. In contrast, multispectral imagery scenes have a nearly complete spatial coverage and wider wavelength intervals. The low spectral resolution of the multispectral data, however, limits their efficiency in the mineral mapping of small geological massifs or hydrothermal alteration halos. The present contribution presents a new transformation tool (SAM-HIT) to simulate the hyperspectral sensor responses in unscanned areas based on partially overlapping hyperspectral and multispectral scenes. Simulation or prediction of the pseudohyperspectral data is here accomplished by using the simulated annealing linear optimization algorithm, which allows the lowest possible mismatch between the original and predicted data. The high visual and numerical correlation of the resultant data confirms the reliability of the newly adopted transformation. Further, the application of the SAM-HIT to a well-exposed part of the Egyptian basement complex with available hyperspectral data showed high concordance and nearly identical band signatures, opening a new outlook for mineral exploration in vast areas by a nearly automated cost-free means.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15041154","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,20]],"date-time":"2023-02-20T04:58:23Z","timestamp":1676869103000},"page":"1154","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["SAM-HIT: A Simulated Annealing Multispectral to Hyperspectral Imagery Data Transformation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1015-2927","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Mohamed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Aswan University, Aswan 81528, Egypt"},{"name":"Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0352-6855","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ashraf","family":"Emam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Aswan University, Aswan 81528, Egypt"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1792-9134","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Basem","family":"Zoheir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Benha University, Benha 13518, Egypt"},{"name":"Institute of Geosciences, University of Kiel, Ludewig-Meyn Str. 10, 24118 Kiel, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2963","DOI":"10.1080\/01431160701408410","article-title":"Using Low-spectral-resolution Images to Acquire Simulated Hyperspectral Images","volume":"29","author":"Chen","year":"2008","journal-title":"Int.
