New Functionality and Improved Workflow for UXO Marine
Geosoft has released a software update for UXO Marine, adding new functionality and tools for conducting underwater site investigations with geophysics. Workflow enhancements in this update make the handling of multi-sensor magnetic and gradiometer arrays data faster and more efficient.
This release includes upgrades to the Navigation Correction and Background Removal tools, making them more comprehensive and easier to use. Offset locations and pitch and roll corrections can now be applied to all sensors in a single pass.
Other release highlights are:
- Support for vertical and longitudinal gradient data, including the Seaquest system, as well as horizontal or transverse gradiometer (TVG) data.
- New target-picking and management tools to automatically select targets from gridded data, and manually edit target lists.
- The ability to calculate analytic signal from any combination of measured and calculated gradients, to help reduce noise and produce a cleaner analytical signal.
Offered as an extension to Oasis montaj, UXO Marine is a software solution for detecting cables, pipelines and unexploded ordnance in underwater environments using magnetic and magnetic gradient data.
Image: Integrated view of the typical stages in magnetic data processing and analysis generated in Geosoft UXO Marine. Database and profile views are shown at left. Lower map is raw magnetic vertical gradient, middle map is residual magnetics with background and other corrections applied. Automatic picked targets are shown in the profile window and in the upper map of analytic signal calculated from the magnetic data, which centres magnetic anomalies over the targets.
