It features deep exploration depths, high detection accuracy, and strong anti-interference capabilities. Currently, WFE has been successfully applied in a variety of resource exploration fields, including metal minerals, shale gas, and oil and gas. However, conventional ground-based WFE is susceptible to interference from terrain, making it difficult to implement in the field. In recent years, drone technology has matured, and the field of airborne electromagnetics has also gradually developed. Airborne wide-field electromagnetic (AFE) combines the advantages of high-power transmission from ground-based electromagnetic methods with the rapid, non-contact, and continuous acquisition capabilities of airborne electromagnetic methods, offering the potential for rapid exploration over large depths in areas with complex surface conditions. Frequency-domain AFE is widely used in geological mapping, water resource surveys, and urban underground space exploration.

The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0060] This invention addresses the problem that airborne electromagnetic (AEM) observations are susceptible to attitude errors during flight, influenced by factors such as flight speed, aircraft turbulence, wind speed, and wind direction. This attitude error significantly impacts the quality of frequency-domain airborne electromagnetic observations. By providing a method for extracting wide-area ground-to-air electromagnetic responses based on the horizontal total magnetic field, this invention explores and verifies the rotational invariance of the horizontal total magnetic field. Based on this principle, it proposes an observation and response extraction technique suitable for airborne frequency-domain electromagnetic field observations that is less susceptible to attitude errors. The invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific examples.

[0061] In order to facilitate a better understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, before explaining the specific embodiments of the present invention in detail, its application scenarios are first described.

[0062] Figure 1Shown is a schematic diagram of the ground-to-air wide-area electromagnetic method device. The ground-to-air wide-area electromagnetic method uses an underground transmitting source to transmit signals and collect data in the air. The collection device is set in the air with the help of a flying platform. The device has the dual advantages of high-power transmission of the ground wide-area electromagnetic method and fast non-contact continuous collection of the airborne electromagnetic method. Unlike the conventional ground wide-area electromagnetic method, the ground-to-air wide-area electromagnetic method is easily affected by factors such as flight speed, wind speed, drone interference, and flight altitude in actual work projects, resulting in the introduction of various noises. Among them, the impact caused by attitude error has always been a major problem of the ground-to-air wide-area electromagnetic method, especially when the magnetic field sensor shakes in the horizontal direction, causing the rotation angle of the magnetic field sensor to change. In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a new ground-to-air wide-area electromagnetic measurement solution.

[0063] For this reason, the present invention carries out the following theoretical research:

[0064] Starting from Maxwell's equations:

[0065] (1).

[0066] in, represents the electric field, is the magnetic field, is the angular frequency, is the magnetic permeability, Indicates conductivity. The conductivity and thickness of each layer are set as .

[0067] In layered media, after the ground-based transmitter emits, the three-component expression of the magnetic field received by the aerial magnetic field sensor at the measuring point is:

[0068] (2).

[0069] (3).

[0070] (4).

[0071] Where I is the magnitude of the current injected into the ground by the source outside the measurement area, ds is the length of the dipole, r is the transmitting-receiving distance, that is, the distance between the ground source outside the measurement area and the flight platform (observation point) projected onto the geodetic coordinate system, x, y, and z are the coordinates of the observation point, which is the position of the receiving coil during the flight of the flight platform. The z direction is vertically downward, and the coordinates of the electric dipole are (0, 0, -h), and h is the height from the ground. is the integral term of the Bessel function, and are zero-order and first-order Bessel functions, respectively, with parameters ,parameter , is the magnetic permeability in vacuum, is the circular frequency, and are the resistivities in the air layer and the first underground medium, respectively; is the reflection coefficient of the TM mode (Transverse Magnetic Mode). The TM mode uses the Shekunoff potential. express, is the reflection coefficient of the TE mode (Transverse Electric Mode, transverse electric field mode), and the TE mode is represented by the vector potential Indicates that, in the perpendicular magnetic field expression, The integral part represents the primary field generated by the wire. The integral part represents the secondary field induced by the earth medium. The integral part represents the secondary field generated by the underground medium in the air layer; H y In the expression, Represents the primary field generated by the wire. H x The primary field generated by the wire does not exist in the expression.

[0072] By averaging the source height h and the observation location z in the magnetic field expression above the electric dipole to zero, we obtain an expression for the electric dipole and the receiving point located at the ground, which agrees with existing ground-based expressions. The calculation of the three components of the magnetic field ultimately involves a Hankel transform. The present invention employs numerical integration combined with extrapolation for high-precision calculations.

[0073] For the case of uniform half space, the above formula can be simplified to:

[0074] (5).

[0075] Further let h=0, = The three-component expression of the magnetic field at the aerial measuring point in the uniform half space can be derived. Compared with the representation of the magnetic field on the ground, the difference is that there is an additional , which reflects the attenuation of the electromagnetic field from the ground to the air in the wave number domain. The specific formula is as follows:

[0076] (6). (7).

[0077] (8).

[0078] From this, we can get the three components of the magnetic field in the layered medium and uniform half-space model 、 、 The magnetic field response formula is used to calculate the magnetic field response of the wide-area electromagnetic field in the ground and air, and further calculate the wide-area apparent resistivity of the magnetic field. Subsequently, the magnetic field response can be directly inverted, or the wide-area apparent resistivity can be inverted to obtain electrical information about the underground medium and complete electromagnetic profiling or depth sounding.

[0079] The core of this invention lies in the rotational invariance of the horizontal total magnetic field: when the sensor is shaken horizontally, causing the rotation angle to change, the horizontal total magnetic field remains unchanged. In other words, the horizontal total magnetic field response is unaffected by the attitude rotation angle. This rotational invariance of the horizontal total magnetic field is demonstrated as follows:

[0080] The total horizontal magnetic field expression is:

[0081] (9).

[0082] When the magnetic field sensor has an attitude error, the two components of the horizontal magnetic field measured by the magnetic field sensor are recorded as and :

[0083] (8).

[0084] (10).

[0085] like Figure 2 As shown, and are the angles formed by the magnetic field sensor and the x-axis and y-axis when there is an attitude error.

[0086] When the attitude error is considered, the total horizontal magnetic field is expressed as :

[0087] = = (11).

[0088] In practice, the rotation angle = ,Right now:

[0089] = (12).

[0090] Therefore, it can be seen that when the sensor shakes horizontally and the rotation angle changes, the horizontal total magnetic field remains unchanged, that is, the horizontal total magnetic field response is not affected by the posture rotation angle. In this embodiment, the magnetic field sensor can be manufactured as a fixed orthogonal structure.

[0091] Based on the rotation invariance of the horizontal total magnetic field, the horizontal total magnetic field is used for inversion calculation, which can effectively avoid the influence of attitude error. And the present invention can know through analysis that, relative to the two components of the horizontal magnetic field, the horizontal total magnetic field The observable area is larger, so the horizontal total magnetic field is selected Taking measurements can achieve better results in the field, as follows:

[0092] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a magnetic field radiation pattern diagram under aviation measurement conditions. Figure 3 In the figure, x and y are the emission frequencies, is the skin depth, and sub-figures (a), (b), (c), and (d) are 、 、 and the horizontal total magnetic field The field value radiation pattern diagram. It can be seen from the figure that the horizontal magnetic field component field value The radiation pattern shows an "X" shape, with a maximum value at an angle of 45° to the x-axis, and a zero band value under axial and equatorial observation devices. The radiation pattern shows a "cross" shape, with maximum values ​​under the axial and equatorial observation devices, and the field changes slowly in the equatorial region. When the angle with the x-axis is 45°, the field value amplitude has a zero band value. It is divided into two lobes by the x-axis and presents a minimum value in the axial area. As the transmitting and receiving distance increases, it can be seen that the magnetic field signal intensity decreases significantly. Only in the vertical device is the magnetic field signal intensity larger. Quantity and 、 Compared with the component field values, in the same area The component magnetic field signal strength is much weaker than the horizontal magnetic field component and , and the observation range is small. The field value amplitude is large in any direction, and there is no zero band value. The observable area is larger, so the horizontal total magnetic field is selected Taking measurements can achieve better results during field work.

[0093] In addition, if Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment gives the characteristic curve of the horizontal magnetic field response of the uniform half-space model. Establish a uniform half-space, the transmitting pole distance is 2000m, the current is 20A, the receiving and transmitting distance is 3000m, and when there is an attitude error: the rotation angle = =10°. The responses of the horizontal total magnetic field for two different models with and without attitude errors are discussed and analyzed. The figure shows that the characteristic curves of the horizontal total magnetic field response before and after rotation completely overlap, indicating that the presence or absence of attitude errors has no effect on the horizontal total magnetic field, verifying the correctness of the theory of rotational invariance of the horizontal total magnetic field.

[0094] Based on the above theoretical analysis, in some embodiments, the present invention provides a method for extracting ground-to-air wide-area electromagnetic responses based on the horizontal total magnetic field, comprising the following steps:

[0095] S1. Set up a ground transmitting source outside the measurement area, and use a flying platform to carry a magnetic field sensor receiving device in the air above the measurement area to collect / acquire two-component horizontal magnetic field data as the horizontal magnetic field observation quantity of the observation point, which is used to calculate the horizontal total magnetic field observation quantity.

[0096] In some embodiments, a magnetic field sensor is used to obtain two-component horizontal magnetic field time domain data, and then the two-component horizontal magnetic field time domain data is Fourier transformed into frequency domain data. 、 , and then calculate the horizontal total magnetic field based on formula (9) , that is, the horizontal total magnetic field observation quantity.

[0097] S2. Based on the rotational invariance of the horizontal total magnetic field, the inversion objective function is constructed with the difference between the horizontal total magnetic field response and the horizontal total magnetic field observation tending to 0, and the inversion target quantity of the survey area is obtained by iteratively solving the inversion objective function.

[0098] In this embodiment, the inversion target quantity is the wide-area apparent resistivity of the magnetic field. In other feasible embodiments, the inversion target quantity can also be other physical parameters of the underground medium, such as magnetic susceptibility. This invention is not specifically limited to this. The wide-area apparent resistivity of the magnetic field is used as an example to illustrate the technical concept and implementation process of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0099] Due to the rotational invariance of the horizontal total magnetic field, the difference between the horizontal total magnetic field response calculated based on the theory and the horizontal total magnetic field observation calculated based on the actual magnetic field data should be close to 0. Therefore, in some embodiments, the following inversion objective function is directly constructed:

[0100] (13).

[0101] Where, is the inversion objective function value, and Perform iterative solution, is the total horizontal magnetic field response, is the total horizontal magnetic field observation quantity, is the inversion target quantity.

[0102] In other embodiments, the inversion objective function constructed under the characteristic that the difference between the horizontal total magnetic field response and the horizontal total magnetic field observation tends to 0 also meets the requirements of the technical solution of the present invention and falls within the protection scope of the present invention, that is, formula (13) is deformed under the characteristic that the difference between the horizontal total magnetic field response and the horizontal total magnetic field observation tends to 0.

[0103] when is the wide-area apparent resistivity of the magnetic field, assuming that the underground medium has a resistivity equal to The uniform half space, the total horizontal magnetic field at the measuring point can be estimated as:

[0104] = (14).

[0105] in, 、 are the horizontal magnetic field component values ​​calculated according to formulas (6) and (7), respectively.

[0106] Take the objective function:

[0107] (15).

[0108] Where, is the objective function defined according to formula (15), is the total horizontal magnetic field observation value, For The total horizontal magnetic field response at the measuring point is calculated according to formula (14) for a uniform half-space with background resistivity, and the following formula is iteratively solved:

[0109] (16).

[0110] The resistivity that satisfies formula (16) is the wide-area apparent resistivity of the Earth-to-air wide-area electromagnetic method based on the horizontal total magnetic field.

[0111] like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a flow chart of calculating the wide-area apparent resistivity of the ground-air wide-area electromagnetic method based on the horizontal total magnetic field. In this embodiment, the binary method is selected to calculate the wide-area apparent resistivity of the ground-air wide-area electromagnetic method based on the horizontal total magnetic field. Perform iterative solution, the specific process is:

[0112] For inversion target quantity Set the value range And set the iteration termination condition;

[0113] calculate Is it less than 0? If it is less than 0, take and calculate Otherwise, adjust the value range ;

[0114] according to Less than 0 or Less than 0, corresponding to a narrowed value range for or ;

[0115] Determine whether the iteration termination condition is reached. If so, obtain the inversion target value based on the current value range. (This is achievable with existing technology, and adaptive technical adjustments can be made based on accuracy); otherwise, continue to take the median to narrow the value range and proceed to the next round of iteration.

[0116] It should be understood that the above technical means are also applicable to other inversion target quantities other than resistivity.

[0117] like Figure 6 As shown in Figure 1, this example provides a comparison of the total horizontal magnetic field and the four-component apparent resistivity response under ground observation conditions. A uniform half-space model was established with a transmitting current of 20A and a transmitting moment of 1000m. The figure shows that under ground observation conditions, the total horizontal magnetic field and the four-component apparent resistivity responses are consistent, accurately reflecting the underground medium conditions and demonstrating the reliability of the apparent resistivity calculated using the total horizontal magnetic field.

[0118] like Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides curves of the horizontal total magnetic field apparent resistivity response under the conditions of a layered medium model and a uniform half-space model with and without attitude error. In the figure, subgraph (a) shows the horizontal total magnetic field apparent resistivity response under the layered medium H-type model, and subgraph (b) shows the horizontal total magnetic field apparent resistivity response under the uniform half-space model. It can be seen that under both models, the presence or absence of attitude error has no impact on the apparent resistivity calculated from the horizontal total magnetic field. The apparent resistivity response remains unchanged, effectively reflecting information about the subsurface medium.

[0119] like Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment provides an analysis diagram of the apparent resistivity response of the horizontal total magnetic field and the two components of the magnetic field under the conditions of airborne observation with and without attitude error. In the figure, sub-graphs (a) and (c) are the angles without attitude error, that is, = =0°, the apparent resistivity responses of the horizontal total magnetic field and the two components of the magnetic field under the conditions of the uniform half-space model and the layered medium H-type model; sub-figures (b) and (d) are respectively when there is an attitude error angle, that is, = =10°, the apparent resistivity responses of the horizontal total magnetic field and the two components of the magnetic field under the conditions of the uniform half-space model and the layered medium H-type model; it can be seen from the figure that when there is no attitude error, the horizontal total magnetic field and the magnetic field observed in the air 、 The components can effectively reflect the underground medium conditions.
