USING NONLINEAR IMAGE PROCESSING TECHNIQUES FOR EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION IN SOUTHERN REGIONS OF IRAN

most of earthquake lineaments have ben recognized by nonlinear image processing techniques shows the self -similarities are described by logistic maps on the basis of iterative peculiarities definition of the nonlinear distributions for detected signatures might provide decomposition of the imagery patterns to distinct underlying process. spatio temporal and frequency based fractal equations are two main power law relationships for plotting area signatures and spectrum area diagrams have been applies to separation of structural patterns on the basis of distinct proper affinities in space and frequency domains respectively.
