Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of geophysics, and in particular to a three-dimensional gravity gradient tensor inversion method constrained by physical information. Background Art

[0002] The gravity field is one of the basic physical fields of the earth, which reflects the distribution of earth's matter and its changes in space and time. The gravity gradient field, as the rate of change of the gravity field in space, has a higher resolution than the gravity field. Therefore, it is widely used in many important fields such as natural resource exploration, topographic mapping, hydrocarbon exploration, microgravity research, and underground military target detection. In recent years, airborne gravity gradient measurement technology has made significant progress, especially in the measurement of complex terrain areas such as mountainous areas, offshore waters, lakes, swamps, etc. It has shown high efficiency. The full tensor gravity gradient data consists of five independent components, has a higher sensitivity to spatial anomalies, and can finely characterize the structural characteristics and location of underground anomalies.

[0003] The inversion of airborne gravity gradient tensor data mainly includes physical property inversion and geometric parameter inversion. Geometric parameter inversion can quickly locate the spatial distribution characteristics and position of the anomaly through imaging methods, while physical property inversion can provide more detailed information about the anomaly, such as shape, volume and physical property parameters. However, traditional inversion methods have limitations such as easy to fall into local minimum values, excessive dependence on initial parameters, model simplification and assumption restrictions, and limited ability to handle nonlinear relationships.

[0004] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, deep learning has provided new ideas and methods for the field of geophysics. Geophysicists apply deep learning technology to the joint inversion of gravity gradient tensor data, and use data-driven convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to establish a mapping relationship between input and output, effectively improving the inversion accuracy and reducing the reliance on prior knowledge and model settings in traditional inversion methods.

[0005] However, data-driven deep learning methods also have shortcomings, such as the need for a large amount of training data, reduced generalization, and poor interpretability. To address these issues, researchers have proposed a strategy to embed physical information constraints in deep learning networks. By incorporating the forward process based on physical laws into the training process of the neural network, the network can not only learn the features in the data, but also ensure that the inversion results conform to the laws of physics, thereby enhancing the interpretability and generalization ability of the model. This strategy provides a solution to the key challenges of solving the generalization and data dependency problems of the inversion problem. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a three-dimensional gravity gradient tensor inversion method constrained by physical information, which can significantly overcome multiple challenges in the prior art, including over-reliance on initial parameters, over-simplification of models and assumption limitations, insufficient ability to handle nonlinear relationships, and poor generalization performance. By integrating physical information constraints into a deep learning network, this method realizes three-dimensional gravity gradient tensor inversion under the dual guidance of data-driven and physical laws, providing an innovative intelligent solution for three-dimensional inversion tasks in the field of gravity gradient exploration.
