  • Publication number: 20250067897
    Abstract: Provided herein is a tunnel electromagnetic joint scanning detection method and a system thereof. It introduces a new tunnel electromagnetic detection system called TEJS, realizes three-dimensional joint inversion of multi-component, time domain and frequency domain signals, and forms tunnel joint scanning imaging. This method adopts the mode of surface transmission, underground reception, multi-source transmission and multi-component reception. Based on an observation system, a large number of stochastic models are constructed and numerically simulated, and a large number of training data sets are constructed by using the simulated data to complete the training of UNet model. This model can realize real-time and fast imaging of the position of the low-resistance anomalous body in three-dimensional space. An algorithm forms a dual checking mechanism through surface imaging and underground imaging, which constrains the three-dimensional spatial position of anomalous body together to prevent misjudgment.
