Mapping and analysis of structural lineaments using SRTM radar data and Landsat-8 OLI image: an example from the Telouet–Tighza area, Marrakech High Atlas, Morocco
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study provides the first evaluation of the potential of both the Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) sensor images and the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data for automated lineament extraction in the south side of the Marrakech High Atlas (Telouet–Tighza area). After image corrections, enhancement methods such as principal component analysis, band composite (BC), and directional filtering were adopted to create new images that provided high visibility of linear structures. The new Landsat BC image used in this study was selected based on the calculation of the optimum index factor and correlation index. In addition to the Landsat image, the SRTM DEM was used to detect structural lineaments in the area by generating shaded relief images. Multisource data, such as band ratio image, geological maps, and fieldwork, were used to eliminate the nongeological lineaments extracted. The results indicate that an automated method was applied successfully for lineament mapping in this area, by detailing the main tectonic faults. Moreover, new lineaments are identified and are validated by fieldwork. Structural lineaments extracted show compatibility in their direction, length, distribution, and density with the tectonic evolution of the study area. A total of 2945 lineaments were extracted with major ENE–WSW and predominant E–W directions. The new structural map shows more structural information compared with the geological map of this area and exemplifies the performance of Landsat-8 OLI bands and SRTM data in this kind of study.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
