ScanPyramids combined muography with GPR, infrared thermography and electrical resistivity tomography to map the Great Pyramid's North Face Corridor. A 2023 study fused the complementary data to refine its geometry—no ultrasound and no requirement that every method agree. The corridor had already been inspected by a camera-equipped robot in 2017.
ScanPyramids fused muon data with three geophysical methods to map a Great Pyramid corridor
EgyptTechnology
Key facts
- ScanPyramids detected the Great Pyramid's North Face Corridor using muon tomography in 2016.
- A 2023 Nature Communications study combined muography with ground-penetrating radar, infrared thermography and electrical resistivity tomography through multi-modal image fusion.
- Ultrasound was not one of the techniques used in that study.
- The fusion combined complementary datasets; it did not require every method to produce the same result or 'all agree'.
- The 2023 study was non-destructive and followed the corridor's 2017 inspection by a camera-equipped robot.
