Abstract

The article is devoted to the topical problem - the selection of optical anomalies of landscapes over deposits of hydrocarbons, which are caused by various natural factors, and the systematization of these factors. Creating remote sensing methods and technologies to solve various oil and gas -searching problems in different geological and landscape conditions requires a deep physical substantiation of patterns of formation on the daily surface of a useful signal from the deposit of hydrocarbons, which can be registered with aerospace sensors. It is known that the optical field of the landscape is due to the reflective characteristics of its individual elements - soils and vegetation. The change in these characteristics under the action of various environmental factors is traced, and a conceptual model is substantiated, which establishes cause and effect relationships between factors of optical anomalies and resulting signals that are recorded by remote and ground methods in the optical range. The article is devoted to the analysis and systematization of environmental factors that are most informative and determine the presence of optical anomalies over hydrocarbon deposits.
