Advanced Geophysical Data Processing Software

GeoHammer is a professional data processing platform developed by SPH Engineering for the rapid assessment, processing, and visualisation of geophysical survey data collected by drones. Designed to simplify complex workflows, GeoHammer enables surveyors, geophysicists, engineers, and environmental professionals to efficiently analyse Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and CSV-based sensor data from a wide range of airborne and ground-based systems.Whether processing data in the field for immediate quality control or preparing datasets for detailed interpretation, GeoHammer provides an intuitive interface with powerful tools that reduce processing time while maintaining high data quality. It is particularly valuable for UAV-based geophysical surveys where multiple flight lines and sensor datasets require rapid organisation and analysis.

Multi-Sensor Data Processing

Import and process datasets from multiple sensor types, including:

  • Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

  • Magnetometers

  • Metal Detectors

  • Gamma Radiation Spectrometers

  • Additional CSV-based geophysical sensors

​

GeoHammer provides a unified workflow for managing data from different payloads within a single application.

 

GPR Data Processing

Process Ground Penetrating Radar datasets using industry-standard formats with tools specifically designed for airborne surveys.

Features include:

  • Background removal

  • Signal gain and contrast adjustment

  • Radargram visualisation

  • Flight line separation

  • Amplitude map generation

  • Rapid field assessment

 

CSV Sensor Processing

Quickly import and analyse data from magnetometers, gamma spectrometers, metal detectors, and other compatible sensors using flexible CSV templates.

Processing tools include:

  • Low-pass filtering

  • Running median filtering

  • Data smoothing

  • Noise reduction

  • Data quality assessment

 

 

​

GNSS Data Integration

Automatically geotag sensor data using precise positioning information to ensure accurate spatial alignment between survey measurements and mapped locations.

Supported workflows include:

  • POS file integration

  • Precise flight tracks

  • Time-lag compensation

  • Coordinate synchronisation

 

Flight Line Management

Automatically split continuous UAV survey data into individual flight lines, making interpretation and processing significantly easier for airborne geophysical surveys.

Interactive Data Visualisation

Visualise processed datasets through easy-to-use mapping and profile views, allowing users to quickly identify anomalies, underground features, and survey coverage.

Quality Control

Assess survey quality directly after data collection by reviewing:

  • Coverage completeness

  • Flight altitude consistency

  • Position accuracy

  • Data integrity

  • Signal quality

This enables issues to be identified while still on-site, reducing the need for costly repeat surveys.

Data Annotation

Add markers and notes directly within datasets to identify features of interest, anomalies, utilities, or investigation points for further analysis.

Flexible Import Templates

GeoHammer includes configurable import templates for many industry-leading sensor manufacturers, allowing quick setup for new equipment and workflows.
