An automated lineament detection method based on a weighted Hough transform is presented. The method
utilizes the result of unsupervised classification based on Kohonen’s self-organizing maps, for vector
quantizing the input data space, followed by neuron clustering. It then post-processes the classification result
with classical image processing techniques and finally applies the modified Hough transform in order to
identify lineaments. The capabilities of the method are described using geophysical (airborne magnetic and
electromagnetic) data from the Vammala area in Finland. The results of the automated analysis show major
geological faults in the selected area. Finally, comparisons with the classical Hough transform algorithm
show the advantages of our proposed modifications.
