The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in geophysical work is becoming a very popular area in the field of modern geological exploration. The advantage of unmanned systems is the optimal ratio of the quality of research results with a significant increase in work productivity and a decrease in cost. In this regard, the improvement of field techniques and the processing of UAV materials is of particular interest for exploration. On the subject, there are a number of unresolved issues that have been revealed to some extent as a result of the author’s comparison of ground-based magnetic exploration and aeromagnetic survey data.
The purpose of the study was to assess the possibility of a full-fledged replacement of ground magnetic exploration work for aeromagnetic survey using unmanned aerial vehicles. The comparison of different types of magnetic survey is relevant, since on the basis of the actual material, the possibility of using an alternative more productive method – aeromagnetic survey using modern UAVs – instead of traditional expensive ground-based magnetic exploration works is analyzed.
To compare the results of the studies, actual material obtained from field work on an area of 13,4 km2 was used. Based on the databases, maps of anomalous magnetic field and graphs on several geophysical profiles are built. Results of magnetic survey in air and ground versions are analyzed; correlation relationships between data of ground pedestrian magnetic survey and aeromagnetic system on An-3 and UAV aircraft are established.
Based on the results of the study, correlation and determination coefficients were obtained, which indicate that geophysical methods on UAVs adequately occupy their place between classical aerogeophysics and ground-based pedestrian survey. Moreover, aeromagnetic survey using UAVs is able to replace pedestrian magnetic exploration during work at the same heights.
Based on the results of the study, methodological recommendations for the production of aeromagnetic survey on UAVs were compiled |
