Dipole Discrimination Techniques Applied to Live Sites: MetalMapper Classification Southwest Proving Ground, Arkansas

Abstract

This report describes advanced classification processing of cued MetalMapper data collected at the Southwestern Proving Ground (SWPG), Arkansas. The advanced electromagnetic induction data were acquired by Weston Solutions, Inc in May 2013. Black Tusk Geophysics processed 1398 cued interrogation anomalies to recover estimates of intrinsic dipole polarizabilities for detected sources. Quality Control (QC) of inversion results flagged high- likelihood targets of interest (TOI) anomalies and failed bad models and inversions. Twenty-three anomalies were flagged as "high likelihood UXO" during QC; 17 of these correspond to actual TOI. The total number of unique TOI in the MetalMapper Cued dataset is 17 i.e., all TOI were flagged as high-likelihood TOI during QC.
