Predictive Targeting with Neural Networks

The GXperts: Geosoft Executables for Specialized Processing Needs

Software by Paterson, Grant & Watson Limited for Oasis montaj™. Contact your Geosoft sales representative for further details.

The Predictive Targeting with Neural Networks software provides a set of Oasis montaj™ GXs for training, simulation and target generation, as well as a comprehensive tutorial. The process works on gridded data, and requires three stages:

1. Delineate one or more known targets to provide signatures. These may be from within the study area, from a different area or from synthetic models.
2. Apply neural network training to the known targets.
3. Apply neural network simulation to the study area, to locate signatures similar to the known targets.

The simulation results may then be gridded, windowed and scaled within Oasis montaj™, to highlight the new targets of interest.

This approach provides for integration of a wide range of data types (e.g. geology, geophysics, geochemistry, remote sensing, topography) for robust and unbiased generation of exploration targets.
