24 Classification Classification offers the chance to divide anomalies into those caused by targets of interest and those caused by other things Recognize that current field methods involve implicit discrimination Mag & Flag instrument sensitivity setting and human interpretation Digital Geophysics threshold selection; what is a target? Our goal is a principled, data based approach to classify targets as non hazardous or targets of interest 24
