Earth Imager 2D Software
$35.00 – $550.00
AGI EarthImager™ 2D is a two-dimensional inversion modeling software for affordable resistivity and induced polarization (IP) imaging. It interprets data collected by the SuperSting™ Wi-Fi in just a few clicks, including parallel boreholes or on a surface line.

The data set, collected using SuperSting™ Wi-Fi earth resistivity imaging instruments, is processed into a 2D cross-section of the earth. The processed data can be output to various types of files and can be processed into reports ready for submission to the client.
Any array or mixed data from Schlumberger, Pole-Pole, Pole-Dipole, Dipole-Dipole, or Wenner electrode arrays are possible to invert. A special “Survey Planner” allows the user to enter a geological model and run a virtual survey and then invert the virtual data to see if the objective of the survey can be met.
