摘要：
Different outcropping sedimentary rock units, ranging in age from Paleozoic to Miocene, can provide significant information to understand the development of tectono-sedimentary evolution of the Sidri-Feiran area, southwestern Sinai Peninsula. The aim of this research is to test the ability of Landsat ETM+imagery for differentiating and mapping these units with the help of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and field investigations. For this purpose, true and false colour composite images, image enhancement techniques (Principle Component Analysis and Minimum Noise Fraction), and 3D perspective views were applied to the data and the geological-photo interpretations were carried out.
