  • Patent number: 12117583
    Abstract: Provided are a method and a device for mobile rapid exploration of mineral resources. The device includes a main magnetic sensor, a slave magnetic sensor and a ground vertical magnetic field sensor arranged in a ground reference station. During exploration, on the one hand, a semi-airborne artificial source exploration method is used to collect signals with the main magnetic sensor and the slave magnetic sensor, in which the slave magnetic sensor collects low-frequency motion noise, and the main magnetic sensor collects low-frequency motion noise and vertical magnetic field signals synchronously. On the other hand, vertical magnetic field signals in a same survey area are collected by the ground vertical magnetic field sensor, and then the low-frequency motion noise collected by the main magnetic sensor is estimated twice through two correlation mappings, so as to obtain a final vertical magnetic field measurement signal.

    Abstract: In a system for arranging survey points in field operation with a ground electromagnetic instrument, the position information of survey lines and survey points are planned and downloaded to an aircraft in advance. The survey lines and one survey point among survey points planned in advance is selected and the coordinate information of the survey point is acquired. The aircraft is controlled to fly to the physical geographic location of the survey point according to the coordinate information of the survey point in conjunction with positioning information acquired in real time. The aircraft hovers above the physical geographic location of the survey point and projects a predetermined indication mark to the ground. The detection instrument and electric field sensor are deployed at a first position indicated by the indication mark, and the magnetic field sensor is deployed at a second position; such a process is repeated till all of the planned survey points are arranged.
