Lithological Mapping Based on Multi-Source Fusion Data and Convolutional Neural Networks: A Case Study of the Guyang Area, Inner Mongolia, China
Source abstract
Abstract
Remote sensing offers distinct advantages for lithological mapping, but its ability to detect underlying bedrock is limited in covered areas, whereas geochemical data are constrained by sparse sampling and low spatial resolution. To address these challenges, this study proposes a texture-guided adaptive data fusion framework combined with a Multi-scale Convolutional Neural Network (MCNN) for lithological mapping, using the Guyang area in Inner Mongolia as a case study. First, the non-linear relationships between geochemical components and remote sensing spatial textures are modeled to achieve complementary integration of heterogeneous multi-source data. Second, an MCNN model is constructed to extract multi-scale geological features, enabling improved discrimination of lithological units and more effective inference of concealed bedrock beneath Quaternary cover. Experimental results show that the proposed method overcomes the limitations of single data sources and achieves an overall accuracy (OA) of 0.95 on the fused dataset. Ablation experiments further demonstrate that the texture-guided fusion strategy significantly improves lithological identification performance. This study provides an effective framework for intelligent geological mapping and confirms the feasibility of inferring underlying bedrock in covered areas using multi-source surface information.
