Innovative data processing methods for gradient airborne geophysical datasets

Intrepid Geophysics has adapted its existing software to include a new series of objects that can be used when<br>processing gradient datasets. These have the purpose of hiding the details (abstraction) of exactly what components of a<br>field have been observed in a survey dataset. This avoids the problem of doing a general rewrite of processing software<br>from the ground up for each special case. Historically, codes have mostly been written to filter, level and grid “scalar”<br>line data (e.g. Total Magnetic Intensity), so Intrepid Geophysics latest software update is a dramatic shift to the world of<br>vectors & tensors.
