Abstract

In recent decade the edge detection procedure has been of great utility in the modeling and interpretation of self-potential, magnetic and gravity anomalies. This paper applies a precise edge detection procedure, called hyperbolic tilt angle (HTA) technique. The sufficiency of the HTA method is indicated using complex synthetic models and a residual gravity data set from Iran. Compared with the formal methods, the HTA filter more detailed outcomes for buried models and is less sensitive to noise.
