ABSTRACT
Space methods are widely used for investigations of seismically active regions. This approach is based mainly on the use of space images of the earth’s surface in the visible and near-infrared spectral range (0.5-1.7 µm) with high spatial resolution. These images capture the spectral response of the earth’s surface and its relief. Therefore, they are useful for the study of lineament morphological structures and neotectonic movements in seismically active regions [1]. On the other hand, space images in the far-infrared range (8-14 µm) detect the temperature of the earth’s surface and are amenable to polarimetric measurements.
