Magnetic Compensation and Processing


We have released updated versions of the magnetic processing and magnetic compensation tools. The new versions are suitable for airborne, ground and marine surveys providing some of the most advanced tools for magnetic processing. The compensation algorithms have enhanced for UAV surveys.



All compensation licenses include QCTool Basic as well as the Advanced Magnetics add-on tools.

For aeromagnetic and marine data, the processing and compensation apps are suitable for fixed wing, helicopter stinger and towed arrays as well as unmanned aircraft. It has been applied to towed instrumentation from airborne drones as well as towed instruments at sea. The processing allows the user to work with single or multiple TMI sensors as well as any vector magnetometers including fluxgates.

The compensation coefficient calculations are now enabled for the use with either fluxgates or IMU's, thus allowing for compensation and interpretational use of fluxgate data.

New processing tools include the calculation and de-rotation of gradients. With IMU data, this enables compensation of your multiple TMI sensors and thus calculation of gradients in the vehicle coordinate system and then de-rotation to either a grid azimuth or magnetic or UTM north. But, what is most exciting is that we can now compensate fluxgate data and then de-rotate the component data to a single coordinate orientation thus enabling modeling and inversion of the fluxgate data providing a whole new power to aeromagnetics particularly low level surveys from drones and UAV. Additionally, the compensation can be applied directly to the derivatives. If interested in this very advanced aspect, please contact us.

These tools add to an already impressive list of processing capabilities including the derivation of processed gradients using our advanced Fourier techniques otherwise not available in any other product. As well as the new release of a very exciting tie line correction algorithm. The low level compensation of fluxgate data is very suitable for detection tools for shallow magnetic objects.

The entire tool also has an impressive list of mapping capabilities as well as some of the most advanced filtering tools in the industry.



The basic compensation license is $4,000US which includes a complete license including calculation of compensation coefficients as well as compensation of the survey data. A second license is also provided to load compensation coefficients and compensate data.

Only compensation of data is available through a GX. If you would like to use the compensation during flights please contact us to discuss this issue. We can either provide source code or a compiled object file.
Cost:$4000 2 licenses
 $5000 2 licenses plus GX
