An improved edge detection method for full gravity gradient tensor data

Edge detection is an essential task in interpretations of gravity and magnetic data. With the rapid development of gravity gradient measurement technology, gravity gradient tensor data has been increasingly used in edge detection. This article focuses on the problem that with the depth increase, the ability to recognize the edge decreases and false edges occur in positive and negative anomalies when using some edge detection methods. In addition, some methods have different recognition abilities for geological bodies with different strikes. Here we propose a new edge detection method which is based on the improved horizontal Theta method of gravity gradient tensors and choosing an appropriate threshold to reduce false anomalies. Comparison of model tests demonstrates that the proposed method is no longer affected by the strike of geological structures. The edges of geological bodies at different depths detected are clear and continuous, and there are no false boundaries between positive and negative anomalies. Finally, this method is applied to the real gravity gradient tensor data in St. Georges Bay, Canada, revealing more geological details.
