Knowledge Related Aspects of Lineation and Lineament Extraction

摘要

The problem of linear feature extraction from remote sensing images for structural geology analysis is discussed. The linear features extracted give valuable clues to geologists in the identification of the internal structure of the lithosphere. A number of factors may influence the extraction process besides the identification of small textural elements. A knowledge-based approach to develop a vision system for linear feature extraction is proposed for integrating these factors.
