Abstract

The objective of this study is to design the geological sketch map of the Kambele sector and surrounding areas using object-oriented classification (OOC) and field observation data. Kambele is a vast mining field located in the center of the Batouri gold district in Eastern Cameroon. The method for lithological mapping consisted of the segmentation and supervised classification of the Landsat 8/9 OLI image, then the directional filtering of the SRTM image for the extraction of Faults. The derived data were then cross-referenced with field observation points in GIS Software. The major result includes the geological map of Kambele; this will contribute to improve the geological and mining information of the sector.
