The operator which uses edge detective template matching technique is newly developed to detect linear patterns in the Landsat MSS image. This operator is applied to the Landsat image of Izu peninsula and we find that it has succeeded to detect the known linearments. Also, new type of display technique using HSI(Hue, Saturation and Intensity) color model is developed to enhance the linear pattern information, where the linear pattern direction and intensity are assigned to the Hue and the Intensity respectively.
