Prospecting method and instrument system of the three-dimensional electrical resistivity tomography based on random distribution of electrodes

摘要

An electrical resistivity tomography prospecting system based on random distribution of electrodes is provided. The system comprises a central console and a plurality of data collection units. The central console and the data collection units are connected via wireless communication. The data collection units comprises a collection station and two electrodes connected via a cable. The electrodes may be randomly arranged based on the grounding condition. The GPS equipped on the electrode may provide the location information of the measurement point. The collection station is controlled by the central console, and may perform in two work modes: current supply measurement or electrical potential measurement. The data collection is parallel. Sequentially selecting one collection unit for current supplying, while the rest of collection units work for potential measurement.
