Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronic digital data processing, and particularly to a method, system, storage medium and terminal for processing regional geochemical data, which are used for performing anomaly grading on given regional geochemical element concentrations, identifying element concentration centers and abrupt change boundaries, and can be widely applied to environmental geochemical surveys, solid mineral exploration and geological scientific research. Background Art
[0002] Regional geochemical anomalies reveal the law of the change of the concentration of specific elements with the sampling point position, and provide valuable clues and basis for fields such as environmental surveys, prospecting exploration and scientific research. For the processing and analysis of regional geochemical data, traditionally, methods mainly rely on drawing isograms, statistical classification, manual interpretation, etc. However, these methods have shown obvious limitations in the actual application process.
[0003] In the isogram, geochemical data generates a smooth isogram through interpolation. Although it can reflect the spatial distribution trend of element concentrations, due to the inherent characteristics of the interpolation algorithm, abrupt change features such as mineralization boundaries and lithological contact zones are over-smoothed, resulting in a lack of hierarchical anomaly grading and insufficient ability to identify anomaly boundaries. For example, in magmatic hydrothermal deposits, the element concentration often shows a sharp change near the rock mass contact zone, while the traditional isogram cannot effectively retain this mutation information, which leads to a large deviation in the positioning of the exploration target area. Statistical analysis methods (such as mean ± 2 times standard deviation) can delimit anomaly areas based on data distribution characteristics, but their assumption is that the data conforms to a normal distribution, while actual geochemical data is often affected by multi-stage geological processes and shows multi-modal or skewed distribution, which results in the statistical anomaly range may deviate from the true mineralization area. For example, in areas with strong weathering, supergene processes may enrich some elements (such as Au, As) in the surface layer, covering up some deep mineralization information. At this time, the anomaly delimitation method based on global statistics may overestimate or underestimate the mineralization potential. In addition, anomaly thresholds (such as the 85% or 90% quantile) usually rely on manual experience to set, lacking objective criteria, and different interpreters may draw different conclusions, affecting the repeatability and comparability of the data.
[0004] Generally speaking, the core problems of the existing regional geochemical data processing methods are: (1) lack of hierarchical anomaly grading, making it difficult to automatically distinguish anomalies of different intensities; (2) insufficient boundary recognition ability, unable to effectively capture the mutation characteristics of element concentrations; (3) over-reliance on manual experience, and the interpretation results are highly subjective. These defects seriously restrict the accurate application of geochemical data, and there is an urgent need for a new method that can automatically divide anomaly levels and identify abrupt change boundaries.

Detailed implementation manners
[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Usually, the components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0019] It should be noted that all the defects existing in the above prior art solutions are the results obtained by the inventor after practice and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed by the embodiments of the present application below for the above problems should be the contributions made by the inventor to the present application during the invention creation process, rather than being understood as the technical content known to those skilled in the art.
[0020] In response to the technical problems pointed out in the background art, the embodiments provided by the present invention are as follows: Referring to Figure 1 , in an exemplary embodiment, a method for processing regional geochemical data is provided, including: S1. For the regional geochemical concentration data of a specific element, traverse and calculate the curvature at all sampling points to obtain the local concavity and convexity of the concentration data; S2. Traverse the element concentration data at all sampling points to modify the curvature so that the local element concentration extreme values remain unchanged; S3. Traverse the element concentration data at all sampling points and perform adjacent value replacement on the element concentration data according to the curvature sign; S4. Iteratively repeat steps S1 - S3 until the element concentration data converges to a trapezoid.
[0021] The present invention proposes a new trapezoidal operator. Through curvature-driven non-linear iteration, it converts element concentration anomaly data into a stepped distribution, thereby generating a hierarchical concentration domain and highlighting the abrupt change boundaries and concentration centers. The core concept of this trapezoidal operator is to use curvature analysis to identify the convex and concave characteristics of the element concentration at the current sampling point, and then replace it with the minimum or maximum value of the element concentration at adjacent sampling points. During this process, the local element concentration extreme values remain unchanged. By repeatedly performing this operation, a stepped anomaly pattern can be generated, which naturally reflects the hierarchical characteristics of the element concentration. A significant advantage of this process is that it neither depends on human intervention nor requires the data to meet the prerequisite of normal distribution.
[0022] Specifically, step S1 performs curvature calculation, including: For the regional geochemical concentration data of a specific element, traverse and calculate the Laplace curvature at all sampling points to obtain the local convexity and concavity of the concentration data. Among them, for one-dimensional equally spaced geochemical data, the curvature is calculated according to the following formula: (1); Where, represents the concentration of a certain chemical element at the profile coordinate x , represents the sampling interval, is the element concentration curvature of a certain chemical element at the profile coordinate x ; For two-dimensional gridded geochemical data, the curvature is calculated according to the following formula: (2); Where, represents the concentration of a certain chemical element at the plane coordinate x , y , and respectively represent the sampling intervals along x and along y directions, is the element concentration curvature of a certain chemical element at the plane coordinate x , y . The subscripts i - 1, i, i + 1 represent the numbers of three adjacent measurement points in the x direction, and the subscripts j - 1, j, j + 1 represent the numbers of three adjacent measurement points in the y direction.
[0023] The element concentration curvature defined above reflects the local situation of the element concentration anomaly, that is, the local convexity and concavity of the concentration data are obtained according to the element concentration curvature: ① If or , indicating that the abnormal concentration of the current element is in a local depression (i.e., near the local value trough); ② If or , indicating that the abnormal concentration of the current element is in a local protrusion (i.e., near the local peak); ③ If or , indicating that the current data is in a flat area.
[0024] Step S2 performs local extreme value protection, including: To keep the local extreme values unchanged, that is, the local extreme values should be in the flat area, traverse the element concentration data at all sampling points and modify the curvature according to the following formula.
[0025] For one-dimensional equally spaced geochemical data, if satisfies: (3) Then let .
[0026] For two-dimensional gridded geochemical data, if simultaneously satisfies: (4) Then let .
[0027] Step S3 performs adjacent value replacement, including: Traverse all sampling points and update the element concentration data according to the curvature sign. If the curvature is positive, the center point value is replaced by the minimum value in the neighborhood; if the curvature is negative, it is replaced by the maximum value in the neighborhood; if the curvature is zero, it remains unchanged.
[0028] For one-dimensional equally spaced geochemical data: ① If , then ; ② If , then ; ③ If , then Remain unchanged.
[0029] For two-dimensional gridded geochemical data ① If , then ; ② If , then ; ③ If , then Remain unchanged.
[0030] Step S4 is iteratively updated, including: Repeat the process of steps S1 - S3 until the data converges to a trapezoid. For whether the iteration termination condition is reached, it can be judged according to whether equation (5) or (6) holds. If it holds, terminate the iteration.
[0031] For one - dimensional equally - spaced geochemical data: (5) where N represents the number of observation points, and the superscripts k and k - 1 represent the results of the k - th iteration and the (k - 1) - th iteration respectively.
[0032] For two - dimensional gridded geochemical data: (6) where N and M represent the number of observation points along the x - direction and y - direction respectively, and the superscripts k and k - 1 represent the results of the k - th iteration and the (k - 1) - th iteration respectively.
[0033] To verify the advantages of the trapezoid operator proposed in the present invention in processing regional geochemical data, we apply it to the actual prospecting exploration practice.
[0034] Figure 2 It shows the original observed anomaly of arsenic (As) element and its result after trapezoid processing on the exploration line section of a low - temperature hydrothermal deposit in Guizhou. It can be clearly seen from the figure that the original observed data presents as a smooth curve, lacking clear concentration anomaly grading, and the element concentration center and its steep change boundary are both blurred. However, the result after trapezoid processing clearly shows different concentration anomaly gradings, including the concentration center and the boundary of concentration steep change, which makes the data interpretation more intuitive and accurate.
[0035] Figure 3 It shows the original anomaly plan map of lithium (Li) element ( Figure 3 a) and its result after trapezoid processing ( Figure 3 b) in a pegmatite - type lithium ore district in the western part of China. Although there are significant Li element anomalies in this ore district, it is difficult to accurately divide the anomaly boundary and further classify the anomalies through the original anomaly plan map. However, after trapezoid processing, the result clearly reveals multiple - level Li element anomaly regions, and the concentration center and its boundary of Li element also become clearer. This processing result is highly consistent with the geological observation results and the actual distribution area of the ore (mineralized) body, further proving the practicality and reliability of the trapezoid operator proposed in the present invention in processing regional geochemical data.
