| Description | The author has identified the following significant results. Preliminary analysis of the full frame images shows the following: (1) The techniques employed were found suitable for study purposes. (2) The positional accuracy of the system corrected bulk processed MSS images is about 100-400 m. (3) Drainage is well depicted and morphotectonic features could be recognized. (4) Water bodies are clearly shown in MSS band 7. (5) Major roads, railway lines, and large towns are more or less detectable on bands 6 and 7. (6) Vegetation and agricultural areas are recognizable at many places. (7) Major rock formation boundaries, in general, are more or less clear. (8) Some of the structural trends including folded and linear structural elements are clear. (9) MSS bands 5 and 7 appear to be most useful for visual analysis. (10) Quick look analysis suggests that regional geological mapping on ERTS-1 imagery of the study area will be probably quite feasible. However, detailed analysis, visual and quantitative, on subframes, which is under progress may render more significant results. |
