Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been recognized as a powerful tool for geological feature detection. This work introduces a new approach using Particle Swarm Optimization automatically detected geological features from PALSAR SAR data. The result shows that the new formula based on Particle Swarm Optimization can be delineated lineament features in PALSAR data. The new approach using Particl...

The viewshed of a topographic dataset is the region around a given observation point that is visible from that location. Most GIS packages allow its computation. It has many uses, such as in urban environment planning, or in analysing archaeological site data. The viewshed is used here as a data enhancement tool to aid in the interpretation of geophysical potential field data. The fraction of t...

Similarity measures are becoming increasingly commonly used in comparison of multiple datasets from various sources. Semblance filtering compares two datasets on the basis of their phase, as a function of frequency. Semblance analysis based on the Fourier transform suffers from problems associated with that transform, in particular its assumption that the frequency content of the data must not ...

In general, the conventional approach to structure study uses potential-field data, including aeromagnetic and gravity data, for detecting the basement structures, and geophysical well-log data (combined with seismic data when available) for interpreting the sedimentary cover structures. With respect to well-log data, the main approach is to interpret faults from isopach and structure-top conto...

lineaments are the most important phenomena of geological exploration of hydrocarbon reservoirs . concepts in order to map the contours of land need so much time and money. one of the most famous methods in lineaments extraction is satellite image processing. in this paper, an overview of lineament extraction methods and a new method based on canny edge detection algorithm is raised. the result...

A new three-dimensional (3D) inversion strategy is applied to compilations of gravity and magnetic data reassess the role crustal lineaments in development western Laurentian margin, Selwyn Basin, associated sediment-hosted zinc–lead (Zn–Pb) deposits. The region’s history obscured by multiple tectonic overprints, including terrane accretion, plutonism, thrust faulting. Regionally continuous, br...

We present our aeromagnetic survey results from an investigation of the iron ore mineral distribution in Pocheon, Korea, west-central area Korean Peninsula. A manned system using a helicopter for regional exploration and unmanned multicopter high-resolution were used survey. The inversion magnetic data confirmed possibility existence new body. Drilling was carried out based on drilling revealed...
