Abstract: Fully
processed gamma ray data may be displayed by a variety of methods that can
interpret profiles and radioelement networks. After the 1990s, advances in
gamma ray spectrometry data, regarding image processing techniques have been
useful. However, traditional mapping methods like profiles and contour
maps have their own advantages and are still being used today. Although,
some visualization techniques can be considered in order to display the updated
gamma ray spectroscopy data, but none of the those methods, alone, are not being
used for mapping and the appropriate interpretation and they should be combined
with other methods. Graphical representation of airborne gamma ray
spectrometry data along with developing low-cost processing systems has gained
tremendous popularity. Image format enables the interpreter to benefit
from a variety of digital image processing techniques, including image
enhancement and extracting special shapes. In this paper, we have used
different techniques of visualizing digital as well as different color spaces.
Acquired radiometric data of elements such as potassium, uranium and thorium in
Islamabad district were converted to color images using Geosoft software and
then, ternary radioelement map of this region provided in RGB color
space. Finally, we processed the images, extracted significant shapes,
identified hot areas of uranium anomalies, and suggested promising indices of
radioactive mineral deposits for the exploratory procedures.
