For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1 The method for analyzing the structural features based on the combination of detection and simulation comprises the following steps:

[0027] Step one, before detecting the fault, collect the known geological data and information of the fault area, and understand the geological conditions of the fault area through the known geological data and information of the area.

[0028] Collect the geological data of the area, such as the partial drilling results and the known partial geological conditions of the area, and the specific content includes the collection of drilling information, the revealed structural distribution characteristics, and the background value of the resistivity data.

[0029] Step two, determine the known and unknown variables that have an impact on the fault position, predict the possible situation of the fault, establish the corresponding numerical simulation, obtain the result through analysis and calculation, and clarify the influence of each variable on the apparent resistivity.

[0030] All known and unknown variables that have an impact on the fault, including fault location, dip angle, lithology, throw, temperature, pressure, water content, filling zone characteristics and other factors. Then predict the possible situation of the fault, make a variety of assumptions and numerical simulation of these assumptions, layout the measuring line in the same position, and analyze the calculated apparent resistivity spatial distribution model.

[0031] In this embodiment, in the area where there is a fault that needs to be detected, through field investigation and data collection and arrangement, the variables that have an impact on the existence of all faults are accurately controlled, and the possible specific situation of the fault is predicted. COMSOL Multiphysics software is used to numerically simulate each possibility of the fault, and the apparent resistivity spatial distribution model is obtained according to the simulation calculation.

[0032] Step three, carry out field electrical exploration in the fault area, analyze and exclude the influence of the interference on the results, complete the actual monitoring of the fault structure characteristics in the area, and get the actual results.

[0033] Before field detection, first analyze the interference, including whether there are high-voltage equipment, high-voltage lines, water content, and fracture distribution near the area. Make clear their influence on the detection results, and facilitate the subsequent correction of the data. (If there is high-voltage equipment, the apparent resistivity will be larger, if there are fractures, the resistivity value will be larger than the original situation, and if there is water, the value will be smaller.)

[0034] The detection method uses three-dimensional high-density resistivity method in resistivity method, and the device uses Wenner device (α device) with four-pole arrangement. The principle of high-density resistivity method is the same as that of conventional resistivity method. It uses the electrical difference between underground media, supplies current I to the underground through power supply electrodes A and B, measures potential difference ΔV between M and N, and determines The value, so that the apparent resistivity value between M and N can be obtained, and the calculation formula of apparent resistivity is as follows:

[0035]

[0036] For the measured data, first, the coordinate and data format conversion is carried out, secondly, the influence of random interference is eliminated by using the distortion point elimination method, then the initial model is constructed by using the software, and the circular smooth constraint least square inversion theory is used to obtain the required apparent resistivity value after repeated iteration, finally the apparent resistivity spatial distribution model of the fault area is obtained by mapping.

[0037] In this embodiment, the four-electrode array Wenner device, the electrode array satisfies AM=MN=NB=n (the meaning of n is represented). According to the working area topography, geomorphological conditions and working task needs, the suitable high-density resistivity measuring line number, total measuring point number and total measuring line length are selected. The electrodes are arranged on the measuring points at a certain interval, are connected with the host computer through the high-density cable, are automatically run by the host computer control, are observed, and the observation results are displayed in real time. In order to obtain the final results which can be used for geological interpretation and truly reflect the stratum characteristics and features, a series of digital processing such as eliminating interference and observation system parameter influence is carried out. The professional inversion software is used for data processing to invert the measured apparent resistivity, and form the final apparent resistivity spatial distribution model and profile.

[0038] Step four, using MATLAB and other software to compare and analyze the numerical simulation results and the field detection results by digital image technology, the specific steps include: first, pre-processing and registration adjustment of the digital image, according to the pixel intensity value, the image is divided into different regions, and the specific features are extracted and compared. Then, through intuitive comparison, quantitative analysis (through calculating the image similarity index, such as mean square error (MSE), structure similarity (SSIM) index, and quantitatively evaluating the similarity of two images) and difference significance analysis (applying difference image to visualize and locate the difference area), the comparison and analysis are carried out, and then the detection results are corrected according to the difference. In the correction process, the exact values of some variables are determined through the drilling data, such as water content and dip angle; for uncertain variables, the specific influence of each variable change on the apparent resistivity is mastered through numerical simulation, and the data closest to the field detection results are obtained by continuously changing the variable values, so that the specific situation of the fault is determined. Through the change of each feature of the fault zone, the numerical model is adjusted to realize accurate matching with the field detection data, complete the interpretation of the field detection data from experience-based to simulation data pre-play, and improve the quantification and accuracy of the interpreted data.

[0039] Step five, applying the digital simulation results, combining with the actual geological conditions to simulate the mining process of the ore body, comparing with the actual detection results, and verifying the influence of the mining process on the fault structure zone.

[0040] Therefore, the structural feature analysis method based on the combination of detection and simulation is adopted, the combination of detection and simulation is realized, the results of numerical analysis are continuously corrected, and the exact fault structural features can be obtained.

[0041] It should be pointed out finally that the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application but not to limit it, and although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions of the present application can still be modified or replaced equivalently, and these modifications or equivalent replacements should not make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
