Abstract
This article analyzes some aeromagnetic filtering techniques for mitigating deceptive geophysical conceptions that may result in a distorted range of geological information from aeromagnetic data. The implication of using the aeromagnetic method, data processing, and enhancement to distinguish sediment-produced anomalies was considered. Two methods to locate buried faults in aeromagnetic data were compared: Edge and fault detection were considered using the magnetic contrast and horizontal gradient methods, whereas rapid depth estimation was considered using the Euler deconvolution method and Signum method. The general challenge to find the magnetic anomaly depth and delineate edges relies on geophysical filtering techniques discussed in order to maintain its geological relevance. The magnetic- contrast layer model signatures help clarify the existence of intra-sedimentary faults. The horizontal gradient approach relative to other derivative methods has better noise stability and fast adaptation to grids without modifying parameters. However, the Signum transform (ST) approach offers a more special solution in depth estimation than the Euler’s deconvolution approach whose solution relies on the required choice of default shape parameters and windows. The Euler deconvolution procedure may not be able to detect structures found by the ST approach and vice versa. As a result, these techniques may be used in conjunction with one another during analysis, as complementary interpretation tools. This review will however aid in the analysis of information
