UX-Analyze

The UX-Analyze extension is an essential tool for unexploded ordnance (UXO) investigations, supporting advanced geophysical classification (AGC). With AGC, the geophysical data is modeled and classified to determine whether a given response corresponds to a target of interest (TOI).

UX-Analyze provides specialized tools for working with advanced electromagnetic (EM) sensor data—such as MetalMapper, MetalMapper 2x2, TEM2x2, and MPV—to import, process, and classify the likelihood that a geophysical response originates from a TOI. Data can be acquired in either dynamic mode, where the sensor collects measurements while in motion, or static (cued) mode, where the sensor is positioned over a predefined target location.

The UX-Analyze tools were developed in collaboration with Acorn Science & Innovation Inc., with initial funding from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) through the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP).

UX-Analyze topics are accessed through UXO Help, which is separate from the Oasis montaj Help system.

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 (for example, 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 the UX-Analyze extension, open a new project and then load the corresponding menus.

  1. On the Project menu, select 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. Expand the Extensions node, select UX-Analyze, and click OK. The related menus are added to the main menu bar.

The menu system provides quick access to a variety of tools and guides you through key processing and 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 UX-Analyze menus are loaded, click the Help button in any dialog opened from these menu items:

  • The reference topic for the current dialog is displayed.

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

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

The following workflows (menus) are included:

  • AGC Survey Prep – Tools to prepare for processing AGC data.

  • AGC Dynamic Data – A simplified workflow for processing dynamic AGC data.

  • AGC Static Data – A simplified workflow for processing static AGC data.

  • AGC Expert User – Full suite of AGC tools for customized processing.
