Abstract
Remote sensing technology has long been applied in many fields of studies, especially in structural geology and mineral exploration, where remote sensing is useful for lineaments and structural feature extraction. In this study, Landsat ETM-7 satellite data have been used and band-8 is proved to be the most suitable band in automatic delineation. The automatic lineament extraction process has been carried out with LINE module of “PCI Geomatica” based on automatic detection algorithms. The lineaments analysis is conducted through the study of geospatial information incorporating the length, density, and direction of lineaments in order to acquire knowledge about the characteristics and proprieties of the geological structures. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the result of the automatic lineament extraction method and therefore to investigate its ability to give real results in comparison with the fault map.
