Sharp lineaments outlining from advanced edge detectors of aeromagnetic data: Gabal Ineaji area, South Eastern Desert, Egypt

ABSTRACT

To interpret geological structures, edge detection is a crucial step. Thus, high-precision computing of the boundaries of possible sources is evolving a necessity to study the subsurface structures. In this study, the tilt-angle, the Tilt-Angle of the total-horizontal gradient, the Tilt-Angle of the Tilt-Angle gradient, and Improved Logistic filters were applied to aeromagnetic data from Gabal Ineji data, South-Eastern-Desert of Egypt. The results have been used to give more precisely accurate structural maps, particularly when compared to revealed geological structures. that gives reliable interpretations. The utilised methods showed that the NW-SE and N-S trends play an effective role in formulating the structural setting of the research area.
