- We used Support vector machine with SVC method for modeling the copper potential mapping.
- Determine how each input affects favorable output.
- The outputs of modeling, in relationship with input layers has a certain pattern.
- Determination of some exploration characteristics of copper deposits.
The first step in systematic exploration studies is mineral potential mapping, which involves classification of the study area to favorable and unfavorable parts. Support vector machines (SVM) are designed for supervised classification based on statistical learning theory. This method named support vector classification (SVC). This paper describes SVC model, which combine exploration data in the regional-scale for copper potential mapping in Kerman copper bearing belt in south of Iran. Data layers or evidential maps were in six datasets namely lithology, tectonic, airborne geophysics, ferric alteration, hydroxide alteration and geochemistry. The SVC modeling result selected 2220 pixels as favorable zones, approximately 25 percent of the study area. Besides, 66 out of 86 copper indices, approximately 78.6% of all, were located in favorable zones. Other main goal of this study was to determine how each input affects favorable output. For this purpose, the histogram of each normalized input data to its favorable output was drawn. The histograms of each input dataset for favorable output showed that each information layer had a certain pattern. These patterns of SVC results could be considered as regional copper exploration characteristics.
