Here, we extracted the lineaments in the Qianhe Graben, an active mountainous area on the southwest margin of Ordos Block, China, by using the tensor voting algorithm after comparing them with the segment tracing algorithm (STA) and LINE algorithm in PCI Geomatica Software. The main results show that (1) the lineaments in this area are mostly induced by the active fault events with the main trending of NW\u2013SE, (2) the box dimensions of all lineaments, NW\u2013SE trending lineaments, and NE\u2013SW trending lineaments are 1.60, 1.48, and 1.44 (R2 &gt; 0.9), respectively, indicating that the faults exhibit statistical self-similarity, and (3) the lineaments have multifractal characteristics according to the mass index \u03c4(q), generalized fractal dimension D(q), fractal width (\u0394\u03b1 = 2.25), fractal spectrum shape (f(\u03b1) is a unimodal left-hook curve), and spectrum width (\u0394f = 1.21). These results are related to the tectonic activity in this area, where a higher tectonic activity leads to more lineaments being produced and a higher fractal dimension. All of these results suggest that such insights can be beneficial for providing potential targets in reconstructing the tectonic structure of the area and trends of plate movement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13040587","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,10]],"date-time":"2021-02-10T04:33:46Z","timestamp":1612931626000},"page":"587","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Fractal and Multifractal Characteristics of Lineaments in the Qianhe Graben and Its Tectonic Significance Using Remote Sensing Images"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2794-3557","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhiheng","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geological Engineering and Geomatics, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ling","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Land Engineering, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"},{"name":"Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chengyan","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Qinghai Eco-Environment Monitoring Center, Xining 810006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hongye","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geological Engineering and Geomatics, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianhua","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Information Engineering, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haiyang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Land Engineering, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1237","DOI":"10.1016\/0098-3004(94)90073-6","article-title":"Spatial analysis of lineaments","volume":"20","author":"Clark","year":"1994","journal-title":"Comput.
