Using satellite data for geological mapping beside saving time and reducing coast leads to increased accuracy. In this study, the result of remote sensing techniques has been compared for manifesting geological units. The study area is limited to 1:25,000 rectangle of Pasab-e-Bala which is located in the northeast of Isfahan and West of Qom-Zefreh fault. This region mainly consists of Devonian and Quaternary sedimentary units. In this study, ASTER and OLI satellite data has been corrected atmospherically and radiometrically. Spectral Analogues method and OLI band combination (652) in RGB image were powerful in distinguishing various rock units. Finally, a new geologic map of the Pasab-e-Bala area was created by integrating the results of remote sensing, previous geological maps and field inspection. It is concluded that the workflow of Landsat 8 image processing, interpretation and ground inspection have a great potential to identify geological formations. According to field data originality, accuracy of the produced map was evaluated through calculating kappa index and overall accuracy and a thematic accuracy of 86% was achieved for geological formations.
