Advanced Geophysical Classification

  • Buried metal objects are

classified as hazardous (dig) or non-hazardous (no dig)

  • Based upon intrinsic target features

derived using physics-based analyses of purpose-built geophysical sensors

  • Significant potential for savings

(time and money) for munitions response site remediation

  • Depends upon site-specific

considerations

○ Ratio of TOI vs non-TOI ○ Types of TOI ○ Cost per dig

Advanced Geophysical Classification

  • New paradigm (leaving metal in the ground)

requires the following

  • Careful, detailed, scientifically sound planning

○ What are the project objectives? ○ How do we plan to achieve them?

  • Formalized quality management and reporting

○ What measurement quality objectives are required to achieve the project objectives? ○ Were they achieved?

  • Transparent processes
  • Stakeholder involvement

Treatability Study Detection Objective

  • Detection Objective: equivalent of 37-mm projectile at

30 cm (1.7 mV/A)

21

slide-20
SLIDE 20

SERDP & ESTCP Webinar Series (#22)

Detection Survey

  • Amplitude Response Detection

Threshold 1.5 mV: >18,000 anomalies

22

slide-21
SLIDE 21

SERDP & ESTCP Webinar Series (#22)

Detection Survey

23

  • High target density regions
  • Classification is not

appropriate for very high anomaly density (saturated response) regions

  • High density region

identified and excluded from Treatability Study

slide-22
SLIDE 22

SERDP & ESTCP Webinar Series (#22)

‘Amplitude Response’ Target Selection

  • Uses only Z component, monostatic data

(analogous to EM61)

  • Selects all anomalous responses > detection

threshold

  • Many small, shallow targets selected to capture

deeper targets of interest

24

slide-23
SLIDE 23

SERDP & ESTCP Webinar Series (#22)

Advanced Detection

  • Advanced Detection uses all 12 measurements

for each transmit event (Amplitude Response uses only 1 of 12)

  • Coherent signal from all 12 measurements

provides better depth of detection (better signal to noise due to more data)

25

slide-24
SLIDE 24

SERDP & ESTCP Webinar Series (#22)

‘Advanced Detection’ Target Selection

  • Step 1: Initial Dipole Fit

Coherence detection

  • For every 0.1 x 0.1 m grid

node use the surrounding data (1 x 1 m) to fit to a dipole

  • Map the fit coherence as the

initial detection metric and find ‘dipole detection areas’

  • Step 2: 1, 2 and 3 source

dipole fit routines to identify all potential sources (‘+’ symbols) and their features (size, wall thickness) within ‘dipole detection area’

26

slide-25
SLIDE 25

SERDP & ESTCP Webinar Series (#22)

‘Advanced Detection’ Target Selection

Step 4: Merge collocated sources to get final ‘Advanced Detection’ targets (‘O’ symbols)

27

Step 3: Remove sources too small or thin-walled to be possible TOIs

Step 3: Filter out sources based upon Size and Decay (robust features)

10-2 10-1 10 0 10 1 10 1 10 0 10-1 10-2 10-3

β amplitude Time (ms)

Size = (β12 + β22 + β32)1/2 Decay = ‘late’ size ÷ ‘early’ size

Lessons Learned

  • Effective and transparent internal quality

control is critical to success

  • Catches issues in a timely manner
  • Generates stakeholder and client confidence in

the results

  • Provides a basis for lessons learned to

advance the state of the art and avoid repetition of the same mistakes

QC Challenges Successes

34

QC Seed not identified as a TOI (caught with internal QC processes)

  • Detection (merged target O)

was within 0.4 m MQO of seed location

  • Array was within 0.2 m MQO
  • f detection location
  • Merge using 0.4 m put target

location too far from source

  • Re-merged sources using 0.2

m (O’s)

  • Recollected data over any

remerged targets not within 0.4 m of center of array

QC Challenges Successes

36 Predicted QA Seed positions relative to ground truth do not meet project MQO

Corrective Action (CA) No immediate CA indicated, but needs to be captured in ‘Lessons Learned’ Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Fit position vs QC seed ground truth and QA seed recovered positions suggests the problem is with the QA seed ground truth collected during emplacement

MQO 0.25 m

slide-35
SLIDE 35

SERDP & ESTCP Webinar Series (#22)

Lessons Learned

  • Positioning precision requirements are

much more stringent for all phases

  • QC/QA seeding*
  • Dynamic data collection
  • Target reacquisition for cued

investigations

  • Cued investigations
  • Target reacquisition for intrusive

investigations*

* These tasks are often done by personnel not involved in classification – must be retrained

37

slide-36
SLIDE 36

SERDP & ESTCP Webinar Series (#22)

Lessons Learned

  • QC documentation requires an extensive effort
  • For every ‘target’ left in the ground we must document all MQO’s

were met

○ Measurement verification (10 MQO’s) ○ Periodic tests - verify system against independent standards before/after data collection (6 MQO’s) ○ Project level verification/validation (4 MQO’s) 38

slide-37
SLIDE 37

SERDP & ESTCP Webinar Series (#22)

Lessons Learned

  • Intrusive investigation

might require a separate mob/de-mob for ‘Analyst Calibration’ digs

  • Analyst Calibration digs

(training digs) are used to finalize the site specific library as well as calibrate the final dig/no-dig threshold

  • The dig program can move through the ‘high

confidence’ TOI digs before the analysis determining the final prioritized list is finished

39

slide-38
SLIDE 38

SERDP & ESTCP Webinar Series (#22)

Lessons Learned

  • Early and detailed involvement of all

interested parties is a blueprint for success

  • Early involvement provides a comfort level with

the technology and processes

  • QC issues are inevitable

○Communication and transparency of process are critical for buy-in of interested parties

40

SERDP & ESTCP Webinar Series (#22)

Conclusions

  • Advanced geophysical classification has

potential for significant savings

  • New paradigm (leaving metal in the

ground) requires the following:

  • Careful, detailed, scientifically sound planning
  • Formalized quality management and reporting
  • Transparent processes
  • Stakeholder involvement

  • 361 total TOI 2 (350/361 = 97%)
  • Achieving primary objective (large TOI to 2 ft) =

  • Achieving secondary objective 1 (large TOI to 4 ft)

= DIFFICULT but DOABLE!

  • Achieving secondary objective 2 (all TOI to depth
  • f detection)= CLOSE, but NOT POSSIBLE!
  • Moving forward, need to address depth vs. signal

strength vs. anomaly density issues

  • Removal action vs. risk reduction

Final Classification

  • Performed after completion of data

collection and refined as intrusive results were received

  • Combines all preliminary lists
  • Final library validation
  • Cluster and select additional

calibration digs

  • Review of dig results as they come

in

  • Mod based on 21187 QA seed to add

Chi2 threshold RCA-MM001

  • Mod based on 13147 to included

good library matches far from the cued and flag location – outside of the standard 40 cm offset

  • Review of QC and QA seeds

Results

  • >550,000 EM61 anomalies
  • 4,625 anomalies investigated with MetalMapper
  • 688 anomalies identified for intrusive investigation and

subsurface removal

  • 22 analyst calibration digs
  • 567 ranked classification digs
  • 99 verification/validation digs
  • The 567 ranked classification digs were classified in the

following categories:

  • Category 0 (cannot analyze):

38

  • Category 1 (high-confidence TOI): 306
  • Category 2 (cannot decide):

223

  • 4,036 anomalies classified as Category 3 targets (high-

confidence clutter)

Accreditation

  • DAGCAP – DoD Advanced Geophysical

Classification Accreditation Program

  • Modeled after DoD Environmental Laboratory

Accreditation Program (ELAP)

  • Accrediting organization, not individual
  • Third party Accreditation Bodies (ABs) conduct

assessments

  • Enhances confidence in results by regulators

and stakeholders

Quality

  • Effective QA/QC critical for stakeholder

acceptance

  • Clear and specific DQO are necessary
  • UFP QAPP
  • UFP QAPP for geophysical classification
  • UFP QAPP for munitions response

78

slide-77

SERDP & ESTCP Webinar Series (#22)

Implementation

  • Need clear, concise, and factually correct

decision documents

  • Need clear remedial action objectives
  • LUC/ICs may still be required
  • Start with the end in mind
  • Effective planning and communication are key

to success
