Gravity compression forward modeling and multiscale inversion based on wavelet transform

摘要

The main problems in three-dimensional gravity inversion are the non-uniqueness of the solutions and the high computational cost of large data sets.To minimize the high computational cost,we propose a new sorting method to reduce fluctuations and the high frequency of the sensitivity matrix prior to applying the wavelet transform.Consequently,the sparsity and compression ratio of the sensitivity matrix are improved as well as the accuracy of the forward modeling.Furthermore,memory storage requirements are reduced and the forward modeling is accelerated compared with uncompressed forward modeling.The forward modeling results suggest that the compression ratio of the sensitivity matrix can be more than 300.Furthermore,multiscale inversion based on the wavelet transform is applied to gravity inversion.By decomposing the gravity inversion into subproblems of different scales,the non-uniqueness and stability of the gravity inversion are improved as multiscale data are considered.Finally,we applied conventional focusing inversion and multiscale inversion on simulated and measured data to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed gravity inversion method.
