Abstract
Metal content of the Kupferschiefer unit (Zechstein subformation) as well as the Rotliegendes thickness in the Permo-Silesian Rudolstadt Basin, northern foreland of the Thuringian Forest, Germany, were studied using a computer-aided image-processing technology consisting of
-
(1)
the generation of an area-coveringinformation from the original data obtained in borehole points with the aid of an interpolation by inverse distance weighting of all data points that are relevant with reference to a Gabriel graph selection procedure;
-
(2)
a gray value transformation of the interpolated data using the dialog regime for a geological control of the results; and
-
(3)
a multispectral classification of the data by a self-learning nonhierarchical method.
The interpretation of the images obtained shows a predominance of the paleotectonic control of the copper distribution in the Rudolstadt Basin area against the paleogeographical environment. Local occurrences of the copper-type Kupferschiefer are concerned with the adjacency of marginal faults of the basin which supported inflows of copper-bearing ascending solutions.
