Automatic Detection of UXO Magnetic Anomalies Using Extended Euler Deconvolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents an algorithm for automatic detection of UXO anomalies in total-field magnetic data based on the concept of structural index (SI) of a magnetic anomaly. The magnetic field produced by a dipole-like source, such as a UXO, varies with inverse distance cubed and therefore has an SI of 3. Identifying magnetic anomalies having structural indices of 3 enables direct detection of potential UXO targets. The recently developed Hilbert based extended Euler deconvolution method (Nabighian and Hansen, 2001) provides an efficient means for calculating the SI and enables use to perform automatic anomaly based on computed SI.

We have applied an automatic interpretation method of potential data called AN-EUL in unexploded ordnance (UXO) prospective which is indeed a combination of the analytic signal and the Euler deconvolution approaches. The method can be applied for both magnetic and gravity data as well for gradient surveys based upon the concept of the structural index (SI) of a potential anomaly which is relate...

This paper describes an efficient edge-preserved regularization algorithm for downward continuation of magnetic data in detection of unexploded ordnance (UXO). The magnetic anomalies arising from multi-source UXO can overlap at a height over the ground surface, while causative sources may not be readily separated due to low level of signal-to-noise ratio of the observed data. To effectively the...

This paper describes the application of three straightforward image-based filtering methods to remove the geological noise effect which masks unexploded ordnances (UXOs) magnetic signals in geophysical surveys. Three image filters comprising of mean, median and Wiener are used to enhance the location of probable UXOs when they are embedded in a dominant background geological noise. The study ar...
متن کاملEffects of low-pass filtering on the calculated structural index from magnetic data
Euler and extended Euler deconvolution applications use an assumed structural index (SI) or calculate the SI, respectively, for magnetic anomaly data within a specified window. The structural index depends on the source type: specifically, the rate at which the field produced by the source decays. We have examined the effects that the application of low-pass filtering to magnetic data has on es...
