New approach to interpretation of airborne magnetic and electromagnetic data

We present a new technique for underground imaging based on the idea of space-frequency filtering and downward continuation of the observed airborne magnetic and electromagnetic data. The technique includes two major methods. The first method is related to the downward analytical continuation and is based on the calculation of the total normalized gradient of the observed field. The second method is based on Wiener filtering and takes into account a priori information about typical AEM anomaly shape from a possible target.
