Abstract

Summary

We present an innovative MATLAB-based approach to extract orientation (dip-direction/dip) and layer thickness data from geological maps. The approach allows rapid, large-scale screening and early identification of promising areas for the eventual extraction of mineral deposits. We test the performance of our approach on the siliceous limestones of Central Switzerland, a unit which is commonly extracted as high quality hard rock.
