Corescan© Hyperspectral Core Imager, Mark III system 3D laser profiler data

Metadata Updated: January 20, 2026

Corescan© Hyperspectral Core Imager Mark III (HCI-III) system data were acquired for hand samples, and subsequent billets made from the hand samples, collected during the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 2014, 2015, and 2016 field seasons in the Nabesna area of the eastern Alaska Range. This area contains exposed porphyry deposits and hand samples were collected throughout the region in support of the HyMap imaging spectrometer survey (https://doi.org/10.5066/F7DN435W) (Kokaly and others, 2017a). The HCI-III system consists of three different components. The first is an imaging spectrometer which collects reflectance data with a spatial resolution of approximately 500 nanometers (nm) for 514 spectral channels covering the 450-2500 nm wavelength range of the electromagnetic spectrum (Martini and others, 2017). The second is a spectrally calibrated RGB camera that collects high resolution imagery of the samples with a 50 micrometer (μm) pixel size. The third component is a 3D laser profiler that measures sample texture, surface features and shape with a vertical resolution of 20 μm (Martini and others, 2017). Corescan 3D laser profiler data were provided for a total of 63 hand samples and four billets were analyzed using the HCI-III system in three scans. An index map of the samples was generated for each scan.
