  • Publication number: 20240378883
    Abstract: The present application proposes a method and apparatus for transfer learning-based localization of igneous carbonate-hosted rare earth mineralization. The technology relates to electromagnetic exploration and includes obtaining exploration data for electric, magnetic, seismic, and gravity methods in the target area. Transfer learning-based localization is applied to the electric, magnetic, seismic, and gravity exploration data to determine the cross-sectional map corresponding to the anomalous position of igneous carbonate-hosted rare earth mineralization in the target area. Feature decomposition dimensionality reduction, feature enhancement, and weighted fusion processing are applied to the cross-sectional map, followed by segmentation of the igneous carbonate-hosted rare earth mineralization geological body in the fused image to obtain the spatial distribution of the detection target.

  • Patent number: 12066587
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for extracting IP information in a TEM response of a grounded-wire source, comprising the following steps: 1) obtaining subsurface resistivity through inversion of a vertical magnetic field less influenced by an IP effect; 2) obtaining an electric field response not influenced by the IP effect based on forward modeling of the obtained underground electrical structure; 3) removing the influence of the IP effect on an observed response to obtain a pure IP response; and 4) inverting the obtained IP response to obtain IP information of polarizability, a frequency dependence, and a time constant. The method of the present invention provides a new idea for further extracting IP information in a TEM response.

  • Patent number: 12058534
    Abstract: Embodiments of a method for measurement of electromagnetic field strength at a point of interest in a coverage area of a 2-dimensional (2D) active antenna system (AAS). The 2D AAS transmits with a load factor of 100 percent. The 2D AAS sweeps a predefined range of azimuth and elevation angles, and azimuth and elevation directions which yield highest EMF at the point of interest are determined. First beamforming weights are determined based on the azimuth and elevation directions and the 2D AAS caused to apply the first beamforming weights. The 2D AAS sweeps a co-phasing angle from 0 to 360 degrees, and a co-phasing angle which yields highest EMF is determined. Second beamforming weights are determined based on azimuth and elevation directions and the co-phasing angle, and the 2D AAS caused to apply the second beamforming weights. The EMF strength at the point of interest is measured.

The vector magnetic potential formula can be subjected to quadrature by an elementary function to obtain the closed form exact solution for the field generated by the finite-length harmonic linear current source in whole space. The cosine expression of the linear current source can better reflect the fundamental attributes of the electric dipole and harmonic current of linear current source in the conductive whole space.
