Description:
Gravity and magnetic inversion are important methods for comprehensive quantitative interpretation of data obtained in, e.g., mineral, oil and gas, and geothermal exploration. At present, the 3-D joint inversion technology of gravity and magnetic data is facing challenges from large-scale data exploration applications. In this letter, a new algorithm for 3-D joint inversion of gravity and magnetic data with high accuracy and low computational cost is presented. We use the geometric trellis method to perform fast forward calculations and then introduce the sparse constraint and adaptive sensitivity matrix into the model constraint terms. The inexact structural resemblance method is then used to add the cross-gradient constraint penalty term to the objective function. Finally, an algorithm (DS-TGN) combining data-space (DS) and truncated Gauss-Newton (TGN) methods is used to solve the joint inversion objective function. Numerical experiments with synthetic data show that the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the computational cost and obtain high accuracy density and magnetization models with structural resemblance and sharp boundaries. We also apply the DS-TGN algorithm to data obtained in the area of Greater Khingan in northwestern Heilongjiang, China. The underground density and magnetization distribution results provide a high-resolution geological model for the detection of skarn-type deposits.
