UASmagpy: Python code for compensating rotary-wing sling-load UAS aeromagnetic data
May 17, 2023
This notebook implements the processing of UAS aeromagnetic total magnetic intensity data as described in Phelps and others (2022).
After low-pass filtering the raw data and applying a diurnal magnetic correction, a heading and altitude correction model is applied to the data, solved using regularized regression methods; heading refers to the direction in which the sensor is flying. The processed data, and the total magnetic intensity data interpolated to a regular grid, are available as output products.

Achieving sub-nanoTesla precision in multirotor UAV aeromagnetic surveys
An uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) multirotor aeromagnetic system using a 5-m sling load for a magnetic sensor system is described and characterized. Four magnetic surveys with identical flight lines were completed, at two nominal altitudes of 25 and 40 m. The surveys were used to assess the repeatability of data collected with the described UAV aeromagnetic system, and comparison with a...
