Abstract: 
Current state of space images usage problem in the geological study of the Earth's surface is considered. The principal information on the specialized geoinformation system RAPID and its SEGMENT module dedicated to image processing, analysis and interpretation are presented. We describe some methods for ore-gold mineralization prediction in an open mountain Uzbekistan region using lineament analysis of SPOT-4 satellite images. The prediction results obtained from satellite images are compared with geological and geophysical data.
Keywords: geological and geophysical data, prediction, satellite images
