Remote sensing methods are a vital alternative for regional exploration surveys.Many ore deposits (e.g., epithermal, porphyry-related, volcanogenic massive sulphides, etc.) have distinct distribution patterns of alteration zones that can be used for recognizing this mineralization.Several known goldfields are distributed within the basement rocks o
The present work proposes a robust method of analyzing sets of data series shifted in time in respect to each other utilizing the process Potty of dynamic calibration by comparison.Usually the Pearson’s correlation analysis coefficient is applied for this purpose.However, in some cases the method does not bring satisfactory results, as it can
