Abstract
In this paper, geostatistical analysis of digital image processing data efficiently contributed to the preliminary site investigation and geotechnical mapping of Wadi Fayidah, Saudi Arabia. 3D modeling, clustering, and chart pattern changes were used to analyze the spectral electromagnetic energy reflected values in red, green, and blue (RGB) ranges on false color composite Landsat-7 images. Therefore, from upstream to downstream, a series of measurements were carried out on a 70km dendritic drainage pattern at 78 stations. Wadi Fayidah was found to have a dominant structural lineament of 56° to 84°. Furthermore, as a preliminary engineering geology mapping, Wadi Fayidah has 9 lithofacies that may differ in engineering geological properties.
