TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of mineral geophysical exploration and application, and particularly to a gravity data adaptive sparse constraint inversion method based on model feature driving. BACKGROUND
[0002] Gravity inversion is a mathematically ill-posed problem of observing gravity field data to deduce the underground density structure, which has the characteristics of non-unique solution and sensitivity to noise, etc. Therefore, a regularization method is usually introduced to constrain the target equation to obtain a reasonable density parameter model solution. The objective function of the regularization inversion of gravity data is usually composed of two parts: a data fitting term and a model constraint term. The data fitting term usually uses the 2-norm to measure the difference between the gravity observation data and the density model prediction data, and the model constraint term is to impose prior information constraints on the density parameters to obtain the optimal solution in the mathematical and physical sense. L
[0003] The diversified occurrence of underground geological structures will produce characteristics such as sudden change or continuous change of field source density parameters, so the field source structure can be simply classified into sharp edge structure and smooth structure. Sparse constraint inversion is to constrain the model solution space by using the L p -norm form, so as to represent the sharp edge and smooth structure characteristics of the field source. Mathematically, L p -norm constraint is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the elements of the model parameter vector to the power of p . On the one hand, the existing gravity data sparse constraint inversion based on the L p -norm only selects a fixed order p value for the whole model space, which cannot flexibly cope with the complex scenarios of coexistence of rock ore bodies with sharp edge characteristics, intrusive rock contact zones, and continuous sedimentary strata and altered rocks with smooth structure characteristics. p If the value is too small (such as p ≤1), the continuity of the smooth area of the model will be destroyed, p if the value is too large (such as p ≥1), the boundary of the block area with sharp edge characteristics will be blurred. On the other hand, the selection of the order p in sparse constraint inversion depends heavily on reliable prior information and trial and error, and the optimal value is often optimized through subjective experience or repeated experiments, which is difficult to quickly apply to inversion interpretation of complex geological structures. Systematic adaptive mechanism and stable and reliable sparse constraint inversion calculation scheme limit the resolution and accuracy of gravity data inversion in fine description of complex geological structures. SUMMARY

[0017] S3, model local feature recognition, calculating the smoothness difference of the model; First, by fixing the order p =1, two sets of threshold values of different orders of magnitude difference are givenε , respectively, to obtain two independent 3D density models m 1 and m 2, since the rate of change of the model smoothness strongly depends on the intrinsic characteristics of the corresponding region in the true model, the blocky region with sharp edge features shows higher sensitivity to the threshold ε ; therefore, by defining the smoothness L i , the difference in smoothness L , the smoothness measure operator L i is defined as the sum of the second-order derivatives of the model space, and the difference in smoothness L of the inversion model under different thresholds ε is as follows: Equation 3: .
[0018] wherein m i represents each discrete grid cell of the subsurface density model, i represents two groups of thresholds with different orders of magnitude differences ε , and the corresponding numbers of the independent inversions, x , y , z respectively represent the three orthogonal directions in the Cartesian coordinate system.
[0019] S4, model feature partitioning constraint, the model region is divided according to the difference in smoothness; According to the size of the difference in smoothness L , the blocky and smooth features of the model space are indicated, the region with a larger difference in smoothness (greater than the statistical average of the smoothness) is initially assigned p =1, and the region with a smaller difference in smoothness (less than the statistical average of the smoothness) is initially assigned p =2, and then the threshold ε is fixed to perform sparse constraint inversion calculation in the whole region.
[0020] S5, adaptive order dynamic optimization; In the iterative inversion process, a model update difference function v is introduced to statistically analyze the difference between the density models before and after iteration, and a reference value δ (typically, one percent can be selected) is given to define the model update difference size; if v is greater than the reference value δ , it is determined that the order p selected in this iteration is still not the optimal value, and needs to be optimized, if vLess than the reference value δ , then no adjustment is required in the next iteration p Value, discriminant function of model update amount v As shown in Formula 4: Formula 4: ; in, m (k) For the k The density model results of the iterative inversion are: m (0) is the initial density model, v (k) Indicates the k The model update amount obtained by the iterative inversion calculation is v Less than the reference value δ , then continue to tune, otherwise, no tuning will be done in subsequent iterations p value; Due to the smaller p The value will promote the sparsity of the inversion model solution and make the model spatial resolution higher, so p The value is tuned in a step-by-step manner, as shown in Formula 5: Formula 5: .
[0021] in, p (k) , p (k+1) Respectively k Second and k +1 iteration time corresponding to the order p .

According to the judgment method of step S5, the optimal p value, and gradually refine the model structure to avoid excessive smoothing or over-focusing of the density model structure. p The sparse constrained inversion of the values can obtain more stable and reliable underground three-dimensional density structure characteristics.
[0024] Simulate a set of two models with sharp edge features and smooth density changes. The density of the geological model on the left is uniform, and the density of the geological model on the right is gradually changing from the center to the surroundings. The model diagram and the corresponding gravity field observation data are as follows: Figure 2 Using a fixed order pThe sparse constraint inversion method based on the value and the adaptive sparse constraint inversion method based on model feature drive proposed in this invention respectively calculate the underground space density parameter distribution model, and obtain the following: Figure 3 The inversion result of Figure 3 (a)-(c) are horizontal slices of the inversion results at a depth of 250m; (d)-(f) are vertical slices of the inversion results at y=500m. The results show that the density distribution model obtained by the inversion method of the present invention is better than that of the fixed p Value-constrained inversion can achieve higher accuracy and resolution. Root mean square error calculations compared to the true density distribution show a 12.6% improvement in global inversion accuracy, demonstrating the method's high degree of automation and stability, providing technical support for practical applications in mineral and oil and gas resource exploration.
