Abstract This study focused on joint interpretation of the aeromagnetic and radiometric data to allocate describe structural elements mineralization zones such as uranium, gold, sulfide in Gebel Umm Tineidba its surroundings, Eastern Desert, Egypt. The region is covered by exposures Precambrian rocks gneisses, migmatites, ophiolitic mélange, metavolcanics, younger granites, Quaternary sedimenta...

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...

Study of the structural changes in the Popocatepetl volcano in Mexico related to microseismicity by applying the lineament analysis to the Aster (Terra) satellite data. Abstract Mexico is one of the most volcanically active regions in North America. Volcanic activity in central Mex-ico is associated with the subduction of the Cocos and Rivera plates beneath the North American plate. Periods of ...

A high-resolution aeromagnetic survey over the Cape Roberts Rift Basin: Correlations with seismic reflection and magnetic susceptibility log data" (2007). Related Publications from ANDRILL Affiliates. Paper 21. Summary A high-resolution aeromagnetic survey (altitude 125 m asl, spacing 500 m , area 800 km 2) was carried out in 1994 offshore of Cape Roberts by the GITARA (German ITalian Aeromagne...

Geological structures, such as faults and fractures, appear as image discontinuities or lineaments in remote sensing data. Geologic lineament mapping is a very important issue in geo-engineering, especially for construction site selection, seismic, and risk assessment, mineral exploration and hydrogeological research. Classical methods of lineaments extraction are based on semi-automated (or vi...

Earth consists of hard rock layers where water is restricted to secondary permeability, and thus to fractures and the weather zones. Structural geology studies, geologic lineaments and their pattern information are essential for better planning and execution of projects to avoid any natural hazards. Satellite images, aerial photographs and digital elevation models will give lineament informatio...
