Setting marks in the data

'Create Marks' tool is a valuable feature for setting markers in a specified survey area for further analysis, whether in GIS software or our own UgCS software. If needed, you can export these marks as a .kml file for use in GIS applications or for viewing in Google Maps or Google Earth.

Please note that this option is only available in the licensed version of the software!
You can purchase GeoHammer Pro here.


In this tutorial, we use sample dataset with 2 parallel gas pipes - download here

  1. We need to select our survey area, where separate profiles will be made. Use the “Select Area” button to choose desired survey area and click “Apply Crop”. Disabling "Amplitude map layer" image and removing all the existing marks image can make the task easier.

  1. Let`s adjust gain to our profiles, so we could better see the underlying layers and hyperbolas. In top right corner use the Contrast slider to adjust gain. We can also use function "Remove background" to enhance the visibility of targets and improve data interpretation by reducing unwanted noise and reflections.

After you have found all of the objects, you can save .sgy file and marks will be saved with it.
