In this work, an automated lineament analysis was carried out to search for earthquake precursors for the territory of the Almalyk-Angren industrial zone in Uzbekistan. The seven events with a magnitude of about 3 were selected for analysis. The Landsat 8 satellite images were processed using the automated lineament detection method in the LEFA software. The processing steps included detecting line elements in raster images, calculating the characteristics of the spatial distribution of line elements, and combining collinear linear elements into lineaments. The analyses of the cyclicality of precursors before and after earthquakes were based on the study of the distribution of the lineament trend in the study area using rose diagrams and lineament density maps. The results showed a change in the dynamics of the lineament structure. The statistics of the number of lineaments showed that their increase begins almost 20 days before the event, reaches its maximum about 1 – 2 days before the earthquake, decreases starting from 14 days after the earthquake, and has a minimum value of 1 – 2 months. The main trends observed in the lineament map showed the dominant trend in NS, WE, NW-SE directions.
