Abstract
Lineament analysis, made through the observation of remote sensing data, is encountered various bias effects. In this paper, the bias effects are analyzed firstly by grouping the process of lineament extraction into three stages, that is; ground based effects (A-factor), image based effects (B-factor), and human effects (C-factor) . These effects change the size distribution of lineaments. The distribution of the extracted lineaments can be formulated in the following equation.
n4(L)≅c'×L- (D+1) ×∫Llmin1/√2πσl×exp[-(log l-μ)2/2σ2]dl
where n4 (L) is the frequency of extracted lineaments with lengthL.lis the recognizable length of a lineament whose actual length isL. Dis the fractal dimension.c', σand μ are constants.
