abstract

measurements of the tilt angle of potential fields can be a useful aid to their interpretation. there are several varieties of the methods in use, such as tilt angle, and the derivative of tilt angle. tilt angle filters are used for exact edge detection of the rectangular bodies artificially by writing a matlab code. the gravity effects of these models are computed by standard algorithms. the edges of these complex rectangular bodies are determined appropriately by tilt angle. it is also applied on real gravity data. the residual gravity anomalies are used as the real data. tilt angles are used to determine the edges of these residual anomalies. the results are compared with the results from the analytic signal method which is a classical edge detection method. this shows the better performance of the tilt angle filter method.

Comparison of derivative-based methods by normalized standard deviation approach for edge detection of gravity anomalies

This paper describes the application of the so-called normalized standard deviation (NSTD) method to detect edges of gravity anomalies. Using derivative-based methods enhances the anomaly edges, leading to significant improvement of the interpretation of the geological features. There are many methods for enhancing the edges, most of which are high-pass filters based on the horizontal or vertic...

Interpretation of gravity anomalies via terracing method of the profile curvature

One of the main goals of interpretation of gravity data is to detect location and edges of the anomalies. Edge detection of gravity anomalies is carried out by different methods. Terracing of the data is one of the approaches that help the interpreter to achieve appropriate results of edge detection. This goal becomes a complex task when the gravity anomalies have smooth borders due to gradual ...
