This paper presents a study of the structural lineaments of the Pantanal extracted visually from satellite images (CBERS-2B satellite, Wide Field Imager sensor, a free image available in INTERNET) and a comparison with the structural lineaments of Precambrian and Paleozoic rocks surrounding the Cenozoic Pantanal Basin. Using a free software for satellite image analysis, the photointerpretation ...

1. introduction nowadays, remote sensing is considered as an important subject in many field studies, like agronomy, hydrogeology, mineral exploration, geography and geology. this knowledge has been applied in most of the geological fields. the significant application of remote sensing is preparation of lineament maps that is an important issue in the geological studies. in the remote sensing s...

Transverse basement (TB) faults are important structures in the mountain belts or sedimentary basins influencing various aspects of them. The origin of these faults is diverse, but their effect on the shape and configuration of continental margins is characteristics. The Western Alborz range that borders the South Caspian basin to southwest is a complex range with principal faults and known ear...

In this work, a methodological framework employing image processing techniques has been developed and applied on a LANDSATETM+ image of Alevrada, Greece. Pre-processing of the satellite image was followed by edge detection performed on band 5 of the ETM+ image in order to obtain proper input data to the lineament identification system. NDVI, PCA and ISODATA unsupervised classification were appl...

Introduction: The Sudbury impact structure is one of three large complex impact basins on Earth that provide unique opportunities to understand the structural characteristics of multi-ring impact basins [1]. The impact event formed ~1.85 Ga, resulting in a ~200 km diameter impact structure [2]. The structural expression at Sudbury is very complex with evidence of extensive post-impact tectonism...

Many workers assume that tessera terrain—marked by multiple tectonic lineaments and exposed in crustal plateaus—comprises a global “onion skin” on Venus. A growing body of structural, mechanical, magmatic, gravitational-topographic, and geologic evidence indicates that tesserae record the local interaction of individual deep-mantle plumes with an ancient, globally thin Venusian lithosphere, res...

Spatial as well as spectral resolution has a very important role to play in water resource management. It was a challenge to explore the groundwater and rainwater harvesting sites in the Aravalli Quartzite-Granite-Pegmatite Precambrian terrain of Delhi, India. Use of only panchromatic sensor data of IRS-1D satellite with 5.8-meter spatial resolution has the potential to infer lineaments and fau...

This study is based on the analysis and interpretation of remote sensing electrical data. allows to characterise geological formations in Figuil evaluate a basement-sediment contact or line (CL) Babouri-Figuil basin’s SE flank north Cameroon region. Manual automatic extraction techniques applied Landsat 8 images brought out 130 lineaments following E – W (90°–100°N), N-S (0°- 10°N) NNE-SSW (60–...
