What does the radiometric course relate to?
SPH Engineering describes how a drone radiometric survey runs:
- Planning: automated flight planning in UgCS produces consistent flight paths, altitude profiles and overlap on every revisit.
- Execution: SkyHub provides real-time monitoring and synchronised sensor data collection.
- Processing: Medusa's GammAn suite applies full spectrum analysis and spectrum stabilisation, with corrections for height, radon, cosmic and background.
- Interpretation: georeferenced maps of K, eU and eTh plus total count, and ratio maps for lithological discrimination and alteration mapping.
What it works with
- MS-100, MS-350 and MS-700 gamma-ray spectrometers
- SkyHub on-board computer hardware and UgCS
- All sensors in our gamma-ray spectrometer collection
Which sensor data course do you need?
SPH Engineering runs trainer-led courses on processing and interpreting data from each type of drone sensor. Pick the one that matches the sensor you fly. All are delivered by SPH Engineering, priced on request and enrolled through HobiTech in India.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which software is used to process radiometric data?
SPH describes processing in Medusa's GammAn suite, and notes that GammAn and Oasis montaj workflows show each correction step openly.
What maps does a radiometric survey produce?
Georeferenced maps of potassium (K), equivalent uranium (eU), equivalent thorium (eTh) and total count, plus ratio maps such as K/eTh and eU/eTh.
Which spectrometers does SPH supply for drones?
Medusa Radiometrics spectrometers, such as the MS-350 and MS-700.
