About GeophPy

Introduction

GeophPy is a project initiated in 2014 through cooperation between two units of the CNRS 1 (UMR5133-Archeorient and UMR7619-Metis). Since 2017, it is also developed by Geo-Heritage (a cooperation between UMR5133-Archeorient and Eveha International).

GeophPy is an open source Python package that offers tools for sub-surface geophysical survey data processing, in the field of archaeology, geology, and other sub-surface applications.

It mainly focuses on ground surveys data and offers tools to process the data and create geophysical maps that can be imported to GIS softwares.

GeophPy contains general tools, such as data destaggering, destriping and method-specific tools, such as reduction to the pole or magnetic data continuation.

GeophPy builds a geophysical DataSet object composed by series of data in the format (X,Y,Z) with (X,Y) being the point position of the geophysical value Z, in order to process and/or display as maps of Z values.

This package can be used as command line, but a specific Graphical User Interface, WuMapPy, is designed for it.
