Enhancing Geophysical Data Acquisition, Quality Control, Processing, Analysis and Visualization for UXO Detection, Characterization and Discrimination

چکیده
As earth scientists seek to address today’s demands to detect, characterize and discriminate buried Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) for remediation and safe disposal, they are increasingly relying on high resolution geophysical methods to provide accurate and efficient detection of land-based and offshore targets. In comparison with traditional sampling procedures, geophysical methods are especially well suited for this application because they minimize time, danger and cost factors — yet maximize the amount of data, information and knowledge obtained.

Enhancing magnetic signals in unexploded ordnances (UXO) detection based on edge-preserved stable downward continuation method
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...
متن کاملCharacterization and quantification of magnetic remanence in unexploded ordnance
Under the Range Rule (1997), the Department of Defense defines unexploded ordnance (UXO) as a piece of ordnance that has been deployed, but has not exploded. This study investigated a subset of UXO including artillery shells and mortars (projectiles), but excluding landmines. UXO contaminates approximately 15 million acres of land in the United States alone. The geophysical tools most frequentl...
متن کاملImpact of Accuracy of Prior Information and Geophysical Sensors on Geostatistical Characterization of UXO Sites
Category: Site Characterization Presented at: The UXO/Countermine Forum, September 3-6, 2002, Orlando, Florida ABSTRACT There are different sources of uncertainty attached to UXO site characterization. One of them is associated with prior information regarding locations of ordnance targets, which are used initially for designing sampling schemes. The accuracy of information is then defined by t...
متن کاملAN-EUL method for automatic interpretation of potential field data in unexploded ordnances (UXO) detection
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...
متن کاملClassification of Magnetic Susceptibility Anomalies and Their Relevance to UXO Detection
The attention given the natural geologic background of a site and its influence on geophysical sensors has grown considerably over the past several years, primarily because of the governmentsupported unexploded ordnance (UXO) technology demonstrations and government mandated UXO cleanup activities. Explosive and ordnance detection (EOD) teams have encountered difficulties at sites thought to be...
