The normal methods for monitoring environmental pollution with image data have many false positives. Therefore, this study is proposing a single-valued neutrosophic set (SVNS) (a variant of NS)-based method as a decision-making model using intuitionistic fuzzy Hamacher generalized Shapley Choquet integral operators for feature extraction and automatic material classification in mining area using satellite data. The experimental results show that this decision-making model using intuitionistic fuzzy Hamacher generalized Shapley Choquet integral operators for feature extraction and automatic material classification can better predict the presence of four heavy metals, i.e., vanadium(V), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and nickel (Ni) in the study area than other methods. For vanadium metal, the determination accuracies, namely, producer accuracy, user accuracy, overall accuracy, and Kappa were 94.5%, 94.1%, 93.88%, and 0.93%, respectively. It was found that the estimated results and the distribution trend of heavy metals are almost the same as in actual ground measurements.
