APPLICATION OF GENERALIZED DERIVATIVE OPERATOR ON BOUGUER ANOMALY FOR DETECTING GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURES

Generalized Derivative Operator (GDO) is one of the first-order derivative filters that could control derivative’s direction by modifying value azimuth () and dip parameters. This study aims to examine those GDO parameters on synthetic Bouguer anomaly apply them field data Silver Peak geothermal identify geological structures. We use Python programs conduct other operators such as horizontal gradient (HG), analytic signal amplitude (AS), well Second Vertical (SVD) for comparison. The are performed in Fourier domain spatial domain. results from show can amplify response both local regional anomalies. Nevertheless, enhanced might be shown same maximum GDO. It appears disregard influence density contrast depth variation anomalous body. Subsequently, enhancement area shows concurred with map. SVD structures intrusive granite, fault lineaments, lithological contact, horst-graben structure, mentioned previous studies, acting fluid pathways system.
