Pseudo-Stratigraphy and Remote Sensing

▶ Pseudo-Stratigraphy and Remote Sensing (~~3 min)

Clip: 10 | Duration: ~3 min | Recording segment: ~47:00 → ~50:00

Prerequisites

Overview

Geophysical and remote sensing data can be integrated into EM as pseudo-stratigraphic units — hypothetical nodes that represent detected features before physical excavation. When excavated, pseudo-SUs are equalized to real SUs. This supports open, evolving datasets.

Geophysical survey data imported and visualised in the Blender 3D scene.

Key Concepts

Pseudo-SUs represent detected features from non-invasive surveys.
Geophysical data (GPR, magnetometry) can be visualised directly in Blender.
Equalization: pseudo-SU → real SU when physically excavated and confirmed.
EM supports open datasets that evolve over time — data is never final.

Screenshots

Wall features detected at different depths interpreted as three building phases.

Pseudo-SUs (100, 101, 102) assigned to provisional epochs.

Equalization: a pseudo-SU becomes a real SU after excavation confirms it.

Try It Yourself

Add a pseudo-SU to the playground EM and assign it a tentative epoch based on the geophysical evidence.
