[0046] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below by means of the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application.

[0047] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present application, its application, or uses.

[0048] Technologies, systems, and devices known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, systems, and devices should be considered part of the specification.

[0049] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0050] Unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used in the present invention shall have the common meanings understood by one having ordinary skills in the field to which the present invention belongs.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment adopts a three-dimensional model containing three low-resistance blocks underground. The model parameters are as follows: the resistivity of the uniform half space is 100Ω·m; the burial depths of the three abnormal bodies underground are 30m, 100m and 180m, the resistivities are 3Ω·m, 2Ω·m and 1Ω·m, and the geometric dimensions are 40m×40m×10m, 80m×80m×10m and 120m×120m×10m, respectively. The transmitting source is an electrical source with a length of 1000m, and the coordinates of the two end points are (-500m, -100m, 0m) and (500m, -100m, 0m); the transmitting current waveform is a differential pulse, and the pulse width is set to 100μs, 600μs, 1ms, 2.5ms and 4ms respectively; the receiving point is located in the air, and the coordinates of the two end points of the measuring point are (-200m, 0m, -30m) and (200m, 0m, -30m), and the point distance is 10m.

[0052] Figure 2The global apparent resistivity imaging diagrams of three low-resistance block models after differential pulses with different pulse widths and related superposition are shown, where Figures ae and f show the global apparent resistivity definition results with pulse widths of 100μs, 600μs, 1ms, 2.5ms and 4ms, respectively, and Figure f shows the imaging results after superposition of the apparent resistivities of the five pulse widths. It can be seen from the figure that the narrow pulse width reflects the electrical characteristics of the shallow low-resistance block, while the wide pulse width reflects the electrical characteristics of the deep low-resistance block; the resistivity information of the three underground blocks can be obtained by superimposing the apparent resistivity results of the five different pulse widths. Therefore, the differential pulse emission waveform has a strong differentiation ability, and the global apparent resistivity definition with multiple pulse widths can realize multi-resolution imaging of underground resistivity.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the method for defining the transient electromagnetic global apparent resistivity mentioned in this application includes the following steps:

[0054] S1. A transient electromagnetic field response calculation method based on a step wave emission waveform, and an electromagnetic forward modeling method for differential pulses using a time shift method;

[0055] Furthermore, the transient electromagnetic forward modeling method based on the step wave emission waveform in S1 uses the time shift method to obtain the specific content of the electromagnetic field response of the differential pulse:

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the transient electromagnetic forward modeling method based on the step wave, according to the composition relationship between the step wave and the differential pulse, uses the time shift addition and subtraction strategy to obtain the transient electromagnetic field response of the differential pulse emission waveform;

[0059] =[B0(t-t1)-B0(t)]+[-B0(t-t2)-(-B0(t-t1))]

[0060] =2B0(t-t1)-B0(t)-B0(t-t2);

[0061] Among them, B0(t) represents the magnetic induction intensity corresponding to the step wave, B(t) represents the magnetic induction intensity corresponding to the differential pulse, B1(t), B2(t), and B3(t) represent the electromagnetic field responses of the step wave at three different moments respectively; t represents time, and t1 and t2 represent two different moments respectively.

[0068] By Figure 5-Figure 7 It can be seen that when the flight altitude remains unchanged and the horizontal offset increases, the extreme point moves toward the high resistivity direction; when the horizontal offset remains unchanged and the flight altitude increases, B x and B z The curve shape of B has almost no obvious change, while y The curve shape changes greatly; in general, the curve shape of the three components of magnetic induction intensity changing with formation resistivity is relatively simple and suitable for calculating the global apparent resistivity.

[0073] Furthermore, the expression of the first Taylor expansion is:

[0074]

[0075] The linear main part of the first Taylor expansion is retained and rewritten to obtain the iterative definition of the global apparent resistivity.

[0076] Keeping the linear principal part of the first Taylor expansion, we get:

[0079]

[0080] in,

[0081] The iterative form of the global apparent resistivity definition is expressed as:

[0083] Furthermore, the iterative termination condition of the global apparent resistivity definition is:

The resistivity at time t is The vertical component of the magnetic induction intensity calculated under uniform half-space conditions.

[0086] S4. The global apparent resistivity of multiple pulse width differential pulses is calculated through the iterative expression of the global apparent resistivity, and the correlation superposition algorithm is used to obtain the comprehensive electrical characteristics of the underground.

[0087] like Figure 8As shown, in S4, according to the characteristic that a differential pulse with a specific pulse width can reflect geological information at a specific depth, a series of differential pulses with different pulse widths are emitted for scanning detection, and the global apparent resistivity is defined respectively, so that resistivity imaging results of geological bodies at different depths underground can be obtained;

[0088] The correlation analysis of apparent resistivity results of different pulse widths is carried out, and the superposition algorithm is used to achieve multi-resolution imaging of the electrical characteristics of transient electromagnetic data.
