Abstract:
An interactive software, Spatial Analysis of Lineaments, has been
developed, that calculates the spatial properties azimuth, length, spacing, and
unidirectional frequency of lineaments, provided that the starting and end
coordinates of the lineaments are given. The software accepts a large number of
lineaments. The different statistical properties are derived in series of steps and
spatial outliers are removed in an interactive way. The software allows the user to
sub-divide the azimuth group in to two or more if necessary. The nearest lineament
is found based on the rules developed by Ekenligoda, & Henkel, 2004. The results
are presented in graphical form for all spatial properties mentioned above together
with mean, mode and standard deviation of each property and the number of
lineaments involved for the derivation of spatial properties and the unidirectional
lineament frequency.
