Strategies to interpret short-wave infrared hyperspectral images of rocks involve the application of analysis and classification steps that guide the extraction of geological and mineralogical information with the aim of creating mineral maps. Pre-existing strategies often rely on the use of statistical measures between reference and image spectra that are scene dependent. Therefore, classification thresholds based on statistical measures to create mineral maps are also scene dependent. This is problematic because thresholds must be adjusted between images to produce mineral maps of the same accuracy. We developed an innovative, knowledge-based strategy to perform mineralogical analyses and create classifications that overcome this problem by using physics-based wavelength positions of absorption features that are invariant between scenes as the main sources of mineral information. The strategy to interpret short-wave infrared hyperspectral images of rocks is implemented using the open source Hyperspectral Python package (HypPy) and demonstrated on a series of hyperspectral images of hydrothermally altered rock samples. The results show how expert knowledge can be embedded into a standardized processing chain to develop reproducible mineral maps without relying on statistical matching criteria.
