in this paper a new method is proposed for interpretation of 2d magnetic data, using multiples of the analytic signal method, in which the analytic signal of magnetic anomaly is used directly to compute the depth and the structural index of the source instead of using its higher order derivatives. this method only needs the computation of the first order derivatives of the magnetic anomaly, so ...

the analytic signal method is a semiautomatic method for estimating the location of causative bodies in magnetic and gravity methods. the application of analytic signal for interpretation of two dimensional (2d) structures was introduced by nabighian (1972). the analytic signal is defined as a complex function in which the real and imaginary parts are a pair of hilbert transforms. in other word...

the analytic signal method is usually used to interpret the magnetic and gravity anomalies. the main advantage of using analytic signal method in interpretation of magnetic source parameters from magnetic anomalies is that the amplitude dip of the analytic signal is independent of directional parameters like magnetization and the dip of the source. using the coefficient of the amplitude to esti...

the s-transform has widely been used in the analysis of non-stationary time series. a simple method to obtain depth estimates of gravity field sources is introduced in this study. we have developed a new method based on the spectral characteristics of downward continuation to estimate depth of structures. this calculation procedure is based on replacement of the fourier transform with the s-tra...

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 ...

The analytic signal of a real signal is a standard concept in 1D signal processing. However, the deenition of an analytic signal for real 2D signals is not possible by a straightforward extension of the 1D deenition. There rather occur several diierent approaches in the literature. We review the main approaches and propose a new deenition which is based on the recently introduced quaternionic F...

potential field methods such as gravity and magnetic methods are among the most applied geophysical methods in mineral exploration. a high-resolution technique is developed to image geologic boundaries such as contacts and faults. potential field derivatives are the basis of many interpretation techniques. in boundary detection, the analytic signal quantity is defined by combining the val...
