Basic ESRI ArcMap/ArcGis Pro TIE Toolbox to perform Trace Information Extraction (TIE) Analysis.

Trace Information Extraction (TIE) is a methodology designed to enhance the clarity of geological traces by analyzing and classifying their geometrical characteristics more explicitly. Here's how TIE works:

Incremental Scanning TIE involves systematically scanning along the geological trace, examining it step by step.

Extraction of Variation Signals As the scanning progresses, TIE extracts two variation signals along the trace. These signals represent changes or fluctuations in the characteristics of the trace.

Interpretation of Signals The relationship between these variation signals provides valuable insights: It informs about the stability of orientation information related to the geological surface hosted by the trace. It indicates the minimum surface bend required to fit the trace.

Identification of Complex Traces By analyzing these signals, TIE can quickly identify traces with geometric complexities and potential inconsistencies.

Detection of Subtle Structures TIE enables a more quantified detection of subtle geological structures along the trace.

Overall, TIE offers a systematic and efficient way to analyze geological traces, making it easier to recognize complex features, identify subtle structures, and compare with other relevant data. This methodology is useful for both revising older datasets and editing new maps, contributing to the advancement of geological understanding and modeling.
