Abstract
With the development of hyperspectral technology, it has become possible to classify alteration zones using hyperspectral data. Since various altered rocks are comprehensive manifestations of mineral assemblages, their spectra are highly similar, which greatly increases the difficulty of distinguishing among them. In this study, a Semi-Supervised Adversarial Autoencoder (SSAAE) was proposed to classify the alteration zones, using the drill core hyperspectral data collected from the Pulang porphyry copper deposit. The multiscale feature extractor was first integrated into the encoder to fully exploit and mine the latent feature representations of hyperspectral data, which were further transformed into discrete class vectors using a classifier. Second, the decoder reconstructed the original inputs with the latent and class vectors. Third, we imposed a categorical distribution on the discrete class vectors represented in the one-hot form using the adversarial regularization process and incorporated the supervised classification process into the network to better guide the network training using the limited labeled data. The comparison experiments on the synthetic dataset and measured hyperspectral dataset were conducted to quantitatively and qualitatively certify the effect of the proposed method. The results show that the SSAAE outperformed six other methods for classifying alteration zones. Moreover, we further displayed the delineated results of the SSAAE on the cross-section, in which the alteration zones were sensible from a geological point of view and had good spatial consistency with the occurrence of Cu, which further demonstrates that the SSAAE had good applicability for the classification of alteration zones.
