UAV Merge Sorties

The UAV Merge Sorties extension offers a comprehensive toolset for planning unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) magnetic surveys and processing the resulting data. It allows users to design survey plans and import, correct, level, and merge data from individual, adjoining UAV sorties into a single coherent dataset.

Key Features:

  • Understand the UAV Merge Sorties processing sequence

  • Plan UAV surveys

  • Import UAV survey data

  • Pre-process UAV survey data

  • Merge sorties into a master dataset

  • Apply intersection levelling to the UAV data

Open a New Project

Working in Oasis montaj requires a project file (*.gpf). A project encompasses all items in your workspace, including:

  • Data files (for example, databases, grids, maps, voxels, geosurfaces, and 3D views)

  • Visualization tools such as histograms and scatter plots

  • Project settings, including the menus currently displayed

This structure ensures that your working environment is saved and can be easily restored.

To begin working with an extension, open a new project and then load the corresponding menus.

  1. On the Project menu, click New. The New Project dialog opens.

    Alternatively, select Create new project from the startup dialog when you launch Oasis montaj.

  2. In the New Project dialog, specify the name and location for your project file (*.gpf), then click Save.

  3. The new project opens, enabling the main menus, toolbar icons, and the Project Explorer. These visual indicators confirm that the system is ready for use.

Load the Menus

  1. On the Project menu, select Manage Menus, or click the Manage Menus icon on the Project Explorer toolbar. The Manage Menus dialog opens.

  2. In Base Menus, expand the Acquisition node, select UAV Merge Sorties, and click OK. The menus related to the acquisition extension will now appear on the main menu bar.

The menu system provides quick access to a variety of tools and guides you through key interpretation workflows.

To automatically load these menus in future projects, specify them in the Default menus field of the General Settings dialog.

Accessing Help

Once the UAV Merge Sorties menus are loaded, click the Help button in any dialog opened from these menu items:

  • The reference topic for the current dialog will be displayed.

  • Use the Help Topics tab to navigate to other topics of interest.

  • Use the Search tab to find specific topics by entering keywords.
