Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gravity and magnetic data processing, and particularly to an iron ore exploration method. Background Art

[0002] Gravity and magnetic anomalies are a comprehensive reflection of the uneven distribution of underground material density and magnetism, and have the advantage of high lateral resolution. Therefore, using the gravity and magnetic potential fields has a unique advantage in inferring the boundary position of geological target bodies. However, the common methods all determine the boundary of the target body by using the position of the anomaly maximum value or the zero value, which reduces the accuracy of edge recognition and has a weak ability to suppress noise. In addition, the depth of geological bodies is one of the conventional purposes of gravity and magnetic data interpretation. Calculating the depth of geological bodies includes using the fractal correspondence relationship between the anomaly function and the geological body; and establishing a linear inversion equation between the anomaly function and the position parameters of the geological body. However, most of them require calculating the second-order or even higher-order vertical derivatives of the anomaly, which will also increase the interference of noise and reduce the accuracy of the interpretation results.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide an iron ore exploration method to solve the difficulties existing in the prior art is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0025] where i = 1, 2, 3,..., s 2 。

[0026] For the above method, optionally, selecting the top three regions with smaller mean square deviations includes: selecting the mean value of the sub-domain with the smallest mean square deviation of the horizontal derivative in the selected 3 small sub-domains as the final output result; the large window slides from left to right to the next point until the calculation of the whole area is completed, and the result of the sliding small sub-domain filtering is obtained.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can also be obtained according to the provided drawings.

[0034] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Referring to Figure 1 as shown, the present invention discloses an iron ore exploration method, including the following steps:

[0036] Input the gravity and magnetic anomaly measurement data;

[0037] Grid the gravity and magnetic data to determine the two-dimensional gravity anomaly field and the total horizontal derivative anomaly;

[0038] Obtain the horizontal derivative of the gravity anomaly based on the two-dimensional gravity anomaly field, and determine the extreme points of the gradient ratio function based on the horizontal derivative of the gravity anomaly;

[0039] Determine the geological depth corresponding to the gravity and magnetic anomaly measurement data based on the coordinates of the extreme points of the gradient ratio function of the horizontal derivative of the gravity anomaly;

[0040] Select a sliding window and calculate the mean and mean square deviation of each small sub-region;

[0041] Select the first three regions with smaller mean square deviations, calculate the mean square deviation of the total horizontal derivative of the three small sub-regions, and output the mean value of the sub-region with the smallest mean square deviation to determine the filtering result;

[0042] Obtain the vertical derivative and total horizontal derivative of the filtering result of the sliding small sub-region, calculate the inclination angle of the filtering result of the sliding small sub-region based on the vertical derivative and total horizontal derivative, and output the corresponding geological range;

[0043] Output the corresponding exploration result based on the geological depth and geological range.

[0044] Furthermore, the gridded gravity and magnetic data includes gridding the measured gravity and magnetic data using the Kriging method to generate regular grid data.

[0045] Specifically, the gravity and magnetic anomaly measurement data is usually discretely distributed. For the convenience of subsequent mathematical calculations and analyses, it needs to be gridded. The Kriging method is an optimal unbiased interpolation method based on the regionalized variable theory and variogram. It fully considers the spatial correlation of the data. By processing the measured gravity and magnetic data, it can generate regular grid data, transforming the actual exploration area into a two-dimensional data matrix form that can be processed by a computer. Based on the gridded gravity and magnetic data, the two-dimensional gravity anomaly field is further determined, and at the same time, the total horizontal derivative anomaly is calculated, providing basic data for subsequent feature analyses.

[0046] Furthermore, the processing method of the Kriging method includes: inputting discrete gravity and magnetic data containing coordinates and anomaly values;

[0047] Calculate the variogram based on the discrete gravity and magnetic data, and fit to generate a theoretical model;

[0048] Interpolate the regular grid nodes based on the theoretical model to generate a two-dimensional data matrix, and then construct a two-dimensional gravity anomaly field.

[0049] Furthermore, the expression of the horizontal derivative of the gravity anomaly is:

[0050]

[0051] where f is the gravity and magnetic anomaly, k is a parameter related to the density of the geological body and the gravitational constant, (x0, z0) is the central coordinate point, and N is the structural index;

[0052] Determining the extreme points of the gradient ratio function includes determining the extreme points based on the ratio of the horizontal derivative of the gravity anomaly to the two-dimensional gravity anomaly field.

[0053] Specifically, the expression of the gradient ratio function is as follows:

[0054]

[0055] The horizontal coordinate of the extreme point of the gradient ratio function is independent of the structural index, and the horizontal distance between the two extreme points is equal to 2z0. That is, the midpoint of the two extreme points corresponds to the horizontal position of the centroid of the geological body. Therefore, the position parameters of the geological body can be obtained without prior information.

[0056] Furthermore, the selection of the sliding window includes two selections of the sliding window, which are divided into a large sliding window and a small sub-domain window. The size of the large sliding window is controlled to be n, and the internal node data is 5n. The size of the small sub-domain window is s. The small sub-domain window slides point by point from left to right until it reaches the end of the large window. Then, the average value and the mean square deviation are calculated as the discrimination criteria.

[0057] The expression for calculating the average value is:

[0058]

[0059] The expression for calculating the mean square deviation is:

[0060]

[0061] where i = 1, 2, 3, …, s 2 .

[0062] Specifically, The average value reflects the overall level of the data in the small sub-domain, and the mean square deviation measures the degree of dispersion of the data. The two are used as the discrimination criteria for subsequent area screening.

[0063] Furthermore, the selection of the first three regions with smaller mean square deviations includes: selecting the mean value of the sub-domain with the smallest mean square deviation of the horizontal derivative in the selected 3 small sub-domains as the final output result; the large window slides from left to right to the next point until the calculation of the whole area is completed, and the result of the sliding small sub-domain filtering is obtained.

[0064] Furthermore, the expression for calculating the mean square deviation of the total horizontal derivative is:

[0065]

[0066] where δ TDi represents the mean square deviation of the total horizontal derivative in the i-th small sub-domain, represents the average value of the total horizontal derivative in the i-th small sub-domain, and f TD represents the total horizontal derivative anomaly.

[0067] Furthermore, the expression for determining the inclination angle is:

[0068]

[0069] Among them, f VZ is expressed as the vertical derivative, and the expression is: f TD is expressed as the total horizontal derivative anomaly.

[0070] Furthermore, obtaining the corresponding exploration results includes: judging the iron ore boundary line corresponding to the data based on the inclination angle, determining the corresponding ordinate based on the extreme point, and then determining the iron ore depth corresponding to the data, and determining the exploration results based on the iron ore boundary line and the iron ore depth.

[0071] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
