Mapping of tecto-lineaments and investigate their association with earthquakes in Egypt: a hybrid approach using remote sensing data

This study integrates quantitative methods to detect surface and near-surface geological linear structures from digital elevation model. A set of altitude, slope and shaded relief maps was enhanced by applying Sobel filter with 10% threshold and percentile stretch to detect geological fractures and...
