The here presented EnGeoMAP 2.0 algorithm is an automated system for material characterization from imaging spectroscopy data, which builds on the theoretical framework of the Tetracorder and MICA (Material Identification and Characterization Algorithm) of the United States Geological Survey and of EnGeoMAP 1.0 from 2013. EnGeoMAP 2.0 includes automated absorption feature extraction, spatio-spectral gradient calculation and mineral anomaly detection. The usage of EnGeoMAP 2.0 is demonstrated at the mineral deposit sites of Rodalquilar (SE-Spain) and Haib River (S-Namibia) using HyMAP and simulated EnMAP data. Results from Hyperion data are presented as supplementary information.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs8020127","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,5]],"date-time":"2016-02-05T10:06:16Z","timestamp":1454666776000},"page":"127","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["EnGeoMAP 2.0\u2014Automated Hyperspectral Mineral Identification for the German EnMAP Space Mission"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Christian","family":"Mielke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Helmholtz Center Potsdam, GFZ German Research Center for Geoscience, 14473 Potsdam, Germany"},{"name":"Institute for Earth and Environmental Science, University Potsdam, Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 24-25, 14476 Potsdam-Golm, Germany"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Rogass","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Helmholtz Center Potsdam, GFZ German Research Center for Geoscience, 14473 Potsdam, Germany"}]},{"given":"Nina","family":"Boesche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Helmholtz Center Potsdam, GFZ German Research Center for Geoscience, 14473 Potsdam, Germany"},{"name":"Institute for Earth and Environmental Science, University Potsdam, Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 24-25, 14476 Potsdam-Golm, Germany"}]},{"given":"Karl","family":"Segl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Helmholtz Center Potsdam, GFZ German Research Center for Geoscience, 14473 Potsdam, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9860-3915","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Uwe","family":"Altenberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Earth and Environmental Science, University Potsdam, Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 24-25, 14476 Potsdam-Golm, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"243","DOI":"10.1109\/JSTARS.2013.2249496","article-title":"The earth observing one (EO-1) satellite mission: Over a decade in space","volume":"6","author":"Middleton","year":"2013","journal-title":"IEEE J.
