A Lineament Enhancement Technique for Active Fault Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lineament enhancement is an important subject in image,processing. In this paper a simple but powerful lineament enhancement technique is presented, which consists of a unique differentiation and a directional filtering. A preprocessing and postprocessings are also described. And some results from LANDSAT images are selected and exhibited for comparison of the effects of several parameters in each step.

Kinematics of the Dena Fault and Its Relation to Deep-Seated Transverse Faults in Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt, Iran
The NNW-trending Dena Fault, with 140 km length, cuts the major structures of Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt in Borujen region. The fault has divided the region in two zones, in which different structural, andmorphological features as well assedimentation and seismtectonic characteristics have developed. This study presents a new interpretation for the kinematics of Dena Fault based on field evidence....

متن کاملProbabilistic View of Occurrence of Large Earthquakes in Iran
In this research seismicity parameters, repeat times and occurrence probability of large earthquakes are estimated for 35 seismic lineaments in Persian plateau and the surrounding area. 628 earthquakes of historical time and present century with MW>5.5 were used for further data analysis. A probabilistic model is used for forecasting future large earthquake occurrences in each chosen lineament....
متن کاملLineament mapping using multispectral remote sensing satellite data
The main objective of this work is to design an automatic image processing tool for lineament mapping from LANDSAT-TM satellite data. In doing so, three procedures are involved: (i) image enhancement using histogram equalization technique; (ii) automatic lineament detection using Canny algorithm; and (iii) three-dimensional (3D) lineament visualization using SRTM data. The study shows that Cann...
متن کاملNeotectonic features of Gotvand - Lali region, southwest Iran
The morphology of the Earth is a result of interactions between climate, tectonics, and geology and the investigation of neotectonics is one of the vital disciplines in Earth science, because the results of regional studies of active tectonics are significant for evaluating natural hazards as well as land use development and management in populated areas. In this regard neotectonic features of ...
