This methodological proposal is based on the traditional method (field work and photo interpretation) and on morphometric variables analysis, using data originated from the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) program. The steps taken through this methodological proposal were the identification of the hydromorphic areas boundaries through interpretation of aerial orthophotographs;the compartmentalization of the relief through color composition techniques using the morphometric variables—slope, altimetry and horizontal curvature;the development of a pedological database based on data gathered in the field;the elaboration of a preliminary soil map based on the compartmentalized relief and on the dataset of the soils sampled in the field;the elaboration and adjustment of the final soil map according to the interpretation of aerial photographs and also the physical and chemical analyses of the soils. This semi-automatic methodology demonstrated improved efficiency in defining the soil units, reducing operation time and subjectivity of the process, thereby contributing to the systematization of soil mapping at watershed level in scale 1:50,000, as well as, promoting better knowledge between the relation of the geomorphic and soil variables in the Brazilian Savanna Cerrado.展开更多

The region’s harsh accessibility and climatic conditions make it difficult to carry out geological prospecting field missions that require large investments. This study proposes a semi-automatic lineament mapping approach to facilitate the elaboration of the fracture map in the West Cameroon Highlands. It uses neural networks in tandem with PCI Geomatica’s LINE algorithm to extract lineaments semi-automatically from an ALOS PALSAR 2 radar image. The cellular neural network algorithm of Lepage et al (2000) is implemented to enhance the pre-processed radar image. Then, the LINE module of Geomatica is applied </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">to</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> the enhanced image for the automatic extraction of lineaments. Finally, a control and a validation of the expert by spatial analysis allows elaborat</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">ing</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> the fracture map. The results obtained show that neural networks enhance and facilitate the identification of lineaments on the image. The resulting map contains more than 1800 fractures with major directions N20<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span> - 30<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span>, NS, N10<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span> - 20<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span>, N50<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span> - 60<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span>, N70<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span> - 80<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span>, N80<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span> - 90<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span>, N100<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span> - 110<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span>, N110<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span> - 120<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span> and N130<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span> - 140<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span> and N140<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span> - 150<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span>.
