Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine surveying, investigation and exploration technology, and specifically to a method for inverting the burial depth of a target object based on magnetic anomaly information from a single sensor. Background Technology
[0002] In the fields of marine mapping and marine surveying and exploration, magnetic detection is one of the most effective methods and means to obtain spatial information on underwater ferromagnetic targets, such as abandoned anchors, subsea pipelines, shipwrecks, underwater vehicles, mines, and bombs. Regarding detection equipment, state-of-the-art marine magnetometers, such as proton precession type, optical pump type, and superconducting type, are widely used in marine geomagnetic measurements and the detection of underwater magnetic targets. Combined with high-precision differential navigation and positioning technology, this provides technical support for obtaining reliable measurement data.
[0003] Determining the burial depth of underwater buried objects is a challenge. For larger or long linear objects, the commonly used technique is the parametric array shallow seismic profiler (also known as a pipeline profiler), which often yields satisfactory results, especially in silty or clayey sediments. However, in sandy sediments, the success rate of shallow seismic profilers decreases significantly due to factors such as acoustic energy dissipation and reduced acoustic impedance differences. Therefore, for smaller buried objects or ferromagnetic objects buried in sand layers, magnetic probing is currently the only mature, efficient, and economical method.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a method for inverting the burial depth of a target object based on the magnetic anomaly information of a single sensor to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Through the derivation of the theoretical model of the magnetic anomaly of underwater target objects and the verification of the model by calculation examples, a method for rapidly inverting the burial depth of underwater buried target objects based on the magnetic anomaly extreme information obtained by a single sensor magnetometer with real-time water depth assistance is proposed. This provides a feasible solution for detecting the burial depth of underwater ferromagnetic target objects at the bottom of the water with a single magnetic sensor. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Traditional single-sensor magnetometers cannot obtain the burial depth information of underwater buried targets. Current reports suggest using interpolation cutting algorithms combined with magnetic anomaly contour maps and parametric array shallow profiling techniques to estimate the burial depth of targets, as well as using an improved Euler deconvolution method to perform depth inversion of underwater unexploded ordnance. These methods generally suffer from problems such as large data requirements, high data acquisition costs, and excessive computational load.
[0020] This invention, based on the magnetic anomaly extrema information of the main profile of underwater ferromagnetic targets detected by a single-sensor magnetometer, proposes a method for inverting the burial depth of underwater buried targets under the constraint of synchronously measured water depth. The inversion results of three computational examples were analyzed through modeling, and the results show that the inversion accuracy is better than 0.2m. The solution for detecting the burial depth of underwater buried targets based on magnetic detection provided by this invention has the advantages of simple data acquisition, strong operability, and high inversion accuracy. It is also applicable to the detection of ferromagnetic targets with sandy bottoms or smaller scales.

S300: Based on the relationship between magnetic potential and gravitational potential, as well as geomagnetic tilt and magnetic declination, determine the relationship between magnetic field strength and magnetic potential; based on the total magnetic field strength measured by the magnetometer sensor and combined with the normal geomagnetic field strength, determine the magnetic field strength of the point magnetic source; based on the relationship between magnetic field strength and magnetic potential and the magnetic field strength of the point magnetic source, determine the calculation model for the magnetic anomaly of the underwater point magnetic source target. S400: Identify the maximum and minimum values of the total magnetic field anomaly; substitute the maximum and minimum values into the underwater point magnetic source target magnetic anomaly calculation model and perform ratio calculations to determine the vertical distance from the point magnetic source location coordinates to the observation plane; based on the real-time water depth measured synchronously, the draft of the magnetometer sensor, and the vertical distance, combined with geometric relationships, obtain the burial depth of the underwater target.
[0022] Specifically, firstly, a unified spatial rectangular coordinate system is established within the marine mapping area, and the observation plane where the magnetometer sensor is located is defined as the XOY plane. Under this coordinate system, the position coordinates of the equivalent point magnetic source of the underwater target are determined, along with the position coordinates of the observation point and the straight-line distance between the point magnetic source and the observation point. Subsequently, based on the geomagnetic environment conditions, the induced magnetization intensity of the underwater ferromagnetic target under the influence of the geomagnetic field is calculated, and the gravitational potential generated by the point magnetic source at the observation point is derived. Combining the Poisson equation for gravity and magnetic potential fields, a theoretical correspondence between magnetic potential and gravitational potential is established. Based on this, and according to the fundamental principles of electromagnetism, the geomagnetic tilt angle and magnetic... By using the deflection angle parameter, the functional relationship between magnetic field strength and magnetic potential is derived. The magnetic field strength generated by the point magnetic source is obtained by inverting the total magnetic field strength measured by the magnetometer sensor and the normal geomagnetic field strength, thus constructing a magnetic anomaly calculation model for the underwater point magnetic source target. Finally, the maximum and minimum values in the total magnetic anomaly curve are automatically identified. The corresponding extreme value data are substituted into the magnetic anomaly calculation model and the ratio is calculated to determine the vertical distance from the point magnetic source location coordinates to the observation plane. Combined with the synchronously acquired real-time water depth data and the draft of the magnetometer sensor, the actual burial depth of the underwater ferromagnetic target below the seabed is calculated through geometric relationships.
[0023] This application further proposes the following for establishing a marine mapping spatial rectangular coordinate system: The coordinates of the point magnetic source position are Q ( x 0, y 0, z 0); The perpendicular distance from the point magnetic source location coordinates to the observation plane is R The coordinates of the observation point are P ( x , y , z The straight-line distance from the coordinates of the magnetic source to the coordinates of the observation point is... ; in, .
[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the point magnetic source is considered as a uniformly magnetized magnetic body, and its remanent magnetization is neglected.

[0026] Specifically, according to Poisson's equation for magnetic and gravitational potential fields, there is a certain relationship between the magnetic potential and gravitational potential of a uniformly magnetized and uniformly dense object. Based on this relationship, the magnetic field of the magnetic body can be calculated using the gravitational potential, and the Poisson equation for the relationship between magnetic potential and gravitational potential can be determined.

M r The residual magnetization retained after the target object has undergone magnetic field magnetization; ; T0 represents the normal geomagnetic field strength. κ The magnetic susceptibility of the point magnetic source material. μ denoted as ρ_permeability.
[0028] Specifically, when using magnetic methods to detect underwater targets, if the distance between the magnetometer sensor and the target is greater than three times the target's characteristic size, it can be approximated as a point magnetic source or a spherical magnetic source. The physical quantity that measures the degree of magnetization of a magnetic target at a certain point underwater is its total magnetization. M Generally, it is the result of the combined effect of its induced magnetization and remanent magnetization. The magnetization of a target object after being magnetized by the modern geomagnetic field under the influence of the Earth's magnetic field is its induced magnetization. M i The target object undergoes magnetization at various stages during its production, storage, transportation, and finally underwater placement. The magnetization intensity that remains at the end is its remanent magnetization intensity. M r . M r In this method, the value is 0 or can be ignored.
[0029] This application further proposes methods for determining the relationship between magnetic field strength and magnetic potential, including: The magnetic field strength is the negative gradient of the magnetic potential.

I Consistent, namely: ; When on the observation plane, z =0, z 0= R, After sorting, it becomes: .
[0030] Specifically, given the gravitational potential, the expressions for each component of the magnetic anomaly field can be obtained using Poisson's equation, thus determining the relationship between the magnetic field strength and the magnetic potential. Without considering remanent magnetization, the direction of the magnetization of the point magnetic source is consistent with the direction of the Earth's magnetic field, and magnetic declination can be used as the reference point. D This indicates that the magnetization inclination angle of the point magnetic source is related to the geomagnetic inclination angle. I Consistent, when on the observation plane, z =0, z 0= R, Z With the positive direction of the axis pointing underwater, the expression for the gravitational potential of the point magnetic source at the observation point P is combined with the formula for the relationship between magnetic field strength and magnetic potential to obtain the final formula for the relationship between magnetic field strength and magnetic potential.

Figure 7 As shown, the regional characteristics of the magnetic anomaly distribution of the target object are similar, and the magnetic anomaly profile exhibits a "quasi-sine wave" shape. With the increase of R, the magnetic anomaly amplitude decreases sharply and decays rapidly. The positions of the magnetic anomaly maxima and minima also change. In other words, changes in the observation plane height R not only cause changes in the magnetic anomaly amplitude but also lead to changes in its planar distribution characteristics, including the relative positions and sizes of the extreme points. Figure 7 In the diagram, A-A' is the main profile magnetic anomaly curve when the observation plane height R is 5m, B-B' is the main profile magnetic anomaly curve when the observation plane height R is 10m, and C-C' is the main profile magnetic anomaly curve when the observation plane height R is 15m.

To facilitate the elimination of unknowns, we compare both sides of the above formula. When the extreme point information is known, the only unknown in the ratio calculation formula is the height of the observation plane. R One item.

The real-time water depth at the time of detection is assumed. WD =6m, magnetometer dragging fish draws water d =2m, then: R =7m.

[0056] like Figure 9 As shown, f ( R ) images and f ( R ) = 0 is approximately in R The magnetic source is tangent to the observation plane at approximately 12, and the distance is calculated using the formula for the perpendicular distance from the point magnetic source position coordinates to the observation plane. R There are two values: 11.58m and 12.09m. R The average value is 11.84m. Substituting this into the geometric formula, then... B =1.84m, compared to the preset value B Compared to 2m, the error is 0.16m.
[0057] Example 3: T 0 = 50000nT D =30°, I =30° is the geomagnetic field parameter, with the volume directly below the origin as the reference point. v =0.10m 3 Material magnetic susceptibility κ =100SI, burial depth B The target object, 1m in diameter, was used as the base model. Real-time water depth during detection. WD =15m, magnetometer dragging fish draws water d =2m, then: R =14m.

[0059] Then assume the burial depth B It is unknown; extreme point information is used for inversion. The known quantity is: real-time water depth. WD =15m, magnetometer dragging fish draws water d =2m are all measured values, therefore a solution is needed. R .
[0060] like Figure 10 As shown, f ( R ) images and f ( R ) = 0 is approximately in R The point of tangency is at point 14, and the perpendicular distance from the point magnetic source position coordinates to the observation plane is calculated using a programming method. R There are two values: 13.77m and 14.09m. R The average value is 13.93m. Substituting this into the geometric formula, then... B =0.93m, which is consistent with the preset value. B Compared to 1m, the error is 0.07m.
[0061] In summary, this invention uses magnetic methods to detect the extreme points of magnetic anomalies in the main profile of underwater ferromagnetic targets. Under the constraint of synchronously measured water depth, the method for inverting the burial depth of the target can be realized by using only a single-sensor magnetometer simultaneously equipped with a depth sounder during data acquisition. It has the advantages of simple data acquisition, strong operability, and high inversion accuracy.
