The invention provides a tectonic background-based gravity fracture image recognition method. The tectonic background-based gravity fracture image recognition method comprises the steps: 1, bouguer gravity anomaly preprocessing is conducted, and basic data for carrying out processing and explaining is formed; 2, gravity difference trend surface field source separation is conducted, and gravity anomaly responses of a target strata are quantitatively depicted; 3, gravity anomaly enhancing and processing conversion are conducted, linear structure weak information is enhanced, and small-level fracture linear images are highlighted; 4, multiple processing conversion results are jointed to establish a nonlinear target function of a narrowing gradient zone; and 5, comprehensive analysis on the fracture linear images is conducted, and different levels of fracture occurrences and combination forms are determined. According to the tectonic background-based gravity fracture image recognition method, the effectiveness and practicability that gravity data fine depict a fracture target are improved, the lateral resolving capacity is improved, the fracture boundary characteristic is highlighted,and a fracture tectonic framework can be clearly recognized.
