Abstract
This paper presents the multi-coverage geological interpretation of satellite imagery of areas in southern Poland, where different genetic, petrologic and morphologic units occur. These areas are also discussed in detail in the geological literature and have been thoroughly mapped. The variance between individual geological interpretations of satellite imagery makes analysis of such large areas very subjective. It is often difficult to recognise the relationships between real elements of geological data and lineaments interpreted from satellite images.Present usage of satellite imagery by geologists is limited. Geological interpretations of small-scale satellite imagery are scarce and this subject is almost absent in scientific papers. We believe that the procedure's objectivity, simplicity and low cost, as well as its quick data elaboration, make it useful in geological sciences. Computer graphic applications are very helpful in the preparation and treatment of data in this procedure. Data obtained from the multi-coverage geological interpretation of satellite imagery are objective and they enable a statistical evaluation of relationships between different geological and geomorphologic phenomena.
