TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure belongs to the application field of high-tech mineral exploration, and in particular to a method and a device for mobile rapid exploration of mineral resources, where the exploration method includes a system low-frequency motion noise suppression method based on correlation mapping.


BACKGROUND

Metal mineral resources, especially key metal mineral resources, are the core supporting conditions for the rapid development of national economy. Due to the complex geological and geomorphological conditions, more than ⅔ of the resources are buried in mountainous areas and forest areas with complex topography. In other words, most metal mineral resources are concentrated in deep underground or complex terrain areas, which have not been identified yet. Therefore, it is very important to develop high-tech suitable for deep metal mineral resources exploration in complex terrain areas to identify resource blind areas and realize mineral resources increase and storage.


A semi-airborne electromagnetic exploration method adopts a working mode of high-power emission on the ground and moving in the air to measure the response magnetic field, and is one of the important methods suitable for the metal mineral resources exploration in a second prospecting space in the deep underground or in the complex terrain areas, and has an advantage of deep and rapid exploration. However, the existing semi-airborne electromagnetic exploration system has not fully utilized advantages of ground-based emitters in deep exploration, mainly because the measured vertical magnetic field component signal of the semi-airborne system is weak and decays rapidly with an increase of receiving and sending distance, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the system is low due to the influence of motion noise. Therefore, it is very important to reduce the motion noise of the receiving system and improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the system to improve the exploration depth and accuracy of the system. A main noise source of the semi-airborne electromagnetic exploration system is the low-frequency motion noise introduced into the receiving magnetic sensor during the mobile measurement of the receiving system. The low-frequency motion noise is embodied in the following aspects: a magnetic sensor cuts a magnetic induction line of the geomagnetic field in air movement, and the motion drift that is consistent with the motion frequency of the magnetic sensor is introduced into the magnetic sensor.


Domestic and foreign scholars have carried out a series of researches on the low-frequency motion noise of semi-airborne system. The representative works include: Li Suyi of Jilin University, Li Yuan of Chengdu University of Technology, etc., and studied the methods of removing motion drift by using wavelet transform and empirical mode decomposition respectively, and obtained good attenuation curves and processing results in time domain. Wu Xin, from Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, used artificial intelligence algorithm to deal with the low-frequency motion noise of semi-airborne time-domain system, and achieved good processing results in simulation data.


The above methods are mainly aimed at the situation that the exploration frequency of time-domain system or frequency-domain system is higher than the low-frequency motion noise frequency, and are of no help to the situation that the exploration frequency is the same as the motion noise frequency.


In summary, the existing methods generally deal with the noise of time-domain systems or specific sources, but may not simultaneously remove the motion drift, making it difficult to achieve one-time cancellation of low-frequency motion noise in semi-airborne electromagnetic exploration systems.


To sum up, the existing semi-airborne electromagnetic exploration method has following problems.


1. The existing motion noise removal methods generally deal with the noise of time-domain systems or specific sources, and are powerless to the motion noise with the same frequency or similar frequency (the exploration frequency is the same as the motion drift) in semi-airborne electromagnetic systems.


2. It is difficult to remove or suppress the low-frequency motion drift of the magnetic sensor in the frequency-domain systems.


The existence of the above problems limits the application of semi-airborne electromagnetic exploration method in mineral resources exploration, especially in the exploration target field of low-resistivity ore beds with large buried depth and low resistivity.


SUMMARY

In order to solve the above problems, an objective of the disclosure is to provide a method, a device and an application for mobile rapid exploration of mineral resources to effectively eliminate low-frequency motion noise in a semi-airborne electromagnetic exploration process, improve the exploration depth and exploration accuracy, and meet requirements for rapid exploration of low-resistivity minerals.

    • the main magnetic sensor and the slave magnetic sensor used for air movement measurement, where the main magnetic sensor and the slave magnetic sensor are arranged in a non-coaxial and non-coplanar manner, bandwidths of the main magnetic sensor and the slave magnetic sensor are consistent, and exploration resolution of the slave magnetic sensor may only distinguish the low-frequency motion noise, but may not distinguish real vertical magnetic field signals, and exploration resolution of the main magnetic sensor may simultaneously distinguish the real vertical magnetic field signals and the low-frequency motion noise; and

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The disclosure will be further described with reference to attached drawings and specific embodiments, but it should not be understood that the scope of the subject matter of the disclosure is limited to the following embodiments, and all kinds of modifications, substitutions and changes made according to the common technical knowledge and common means in the field are included in the scope of the disclosure without departing from the above technical ideas of the disclosure.


As shown in FIG. 1, the device for mobile rapid exploration of mineral resources in this embodiment is mainly composed of a ground emission source 1, a measuring coil 2 as a main magnetic sensor, a reference coil 3 as a slave magnetic sensor, reference coil supports 4, reference coil fixing rings 5, an airborne suspension platform 6, an unmanned aerial vehicle 7, a ground reference station 8 and a ground vertical magnetic field sensor 9.


The measuring coil 2 and the reference coil 3 are both circular coils, and are connected by rigid bridging to form a measuring coil, where the reference coil 3 is fixed at two bridging points on a circumference of the measuring coil 2 by the reference coil fixing rings 5, and an inner circumference of the reference coil 3 is supported from an inside to an outside by the two radially arranged reference coil supports 4 to keep an outline of the reference coil 3. The reference coil 3 and the measuring coil 2 have a same bandwidth, and exploration resolution of the reference coil 3 may only distinguish low-frequency motion noise, but may not distinguish real vertical magnetic field signals. Exploration resolution of the measuring coil 2 may simultaneously distinguish real vertical magnetic field signals and low-frequency motion noise, and an outer diameter of the reference coil 3 is much smaller than an outer diameter of the measuring coil 2. The measuring coil is connected to the unmanned aerial vehicle 7 through the airborne suspension platform 6.


The position setting of the ground reference station 8 should meet requirements of a receiver position in a conventional controlled source magnetotelluric observation scheme, that is, the ground reference station 8 should be arranged within an angle range of 600 left and right of a vertical line in the ground emission source 1, and a vertical distance from the ground emission source 1 is more than 5 times a skin depth. For example, for a exploration task with a lowest frequency of 10 Hz, assuming that an average earth resistivity is 100 ohm meters, a vertical distance between the ground reference station 8 and the ground emission source 1 should be more than 7.9 kilometers. In addition, it should be ensured that the ground reference station 8 has strong signal and small interference, and a signal-to-noise ratio is higher than 20 decibel (dB), so that three-component magnetic field signals with high signal-to-noise ratios may be measured.


When the semi-airborne electromagnetic exploration system is used to quickly explore low-resistivity mineral resources, as shown in FIG. 5, a method includes following steps:

    • step 1, using the unmanned aerial vehicle 7 to collect signals in cooperation with a exploration coil, where the reference coil 3 collects low-frequency motion noise, the measuring coil 2 collects low-frequency motion noise and vertical magnetic field signals synchronously; and on the other hand, collecting vertical magnetic field signals of a same survey area by the ground vertical magnetic field sensor 9 in the ground reference station 8;
    • step 2, performing correlation mapping of the low-frequency motion noise in the measuring coil 2 by using the low-frequency motion noise collected by the reference coil 3, and completing a primary estimation of the low-frequency motion noise of the measuring coil 2;
    • step 3, performing correlation mapping of a useful signal contained in the primary estimation of the low-frequency motion noise of the measuring coil 2 by using the vertical magnetic field signals collected by the ground vertical magnetic field sensor 9 in the step 1, and then eliminating the useful signal on a basis of the primary estimation of the low-frequency motion noise of the measuring coil 2 obtained in the step 2 to obtain a secondary estimation of the low-frequency motion noise of the measuring coil 2;
    • step 4, regarding the secondary estimation of the low-frequency motion noise of the measuring coil 2 obtained in the step 3 as a low-frequency motion noise part in the signals collected by the measuring coil 2 in the step 1, so as to cancel the low-frequency motion noise of the measuring coil 2, where a cancelled signal part is a vertical magnetic field signal responded by the measuring coil 2.


Specific algorithms for the primary estimation and the secondary estimation of the low-frequency motion noise of the measuring coil 2 are as follows:

    • assuming that an output y1 of the reference coil 3 is reference low-frequency motion noise br, and an output y2 of the measuring coil 2 is a noisy signal, including a measured vertical magnetic field signal bzm and measured low-frequency motion noise brm, and a correlation mapping function h(n) from the reference coil 3 to the low-frequency motion noise in the measuring coil 2 satisfies:

      y1(n)=br(n)  (1)
      y2(n)=bzm+h(n)*br(n)  (2);
    • performing Fourier transform on the outputs of the reference coil 3 and the measuring coil 2 to obtain:

      Y1(ω)=Br(ω)  (3)
      Y2(ω)=Bzm(ω)+Br(ω)·H(ω)  (4);
    • calculating a self-power spectrum SRR output by the reference coil 3 and a cross-power spectrum SY1Y2 output by the reference coil 3 and the measuring coil 2 respectively. When output data of the reference coil 3 is motion noise irrelevant to the signal, a cross-power spectrum SRZM of the measured low-frequency motion noise and the measured vertical magnetic field signal is 0. At this time, the cross-power spectrum satisfies:

Therefore, a low-frequency motion noise correlation mapping function H(ω) may be estimated adaptively according to the cross-power spectrum of the reference coil 3 and the measuring coil 2 and the self-power spectrum output by the reference coil 3:

It may be known that a signal after the measuring coil 2 cancels the low-frequency motion noise is:

bzm(n)=F−1[Y2(ω)−Br(ω)·H(ω)]  (7)

    • where F−1 is inverse Fourier transform, Bn=Br(ω)·H(ω) is a frequency spectrum of the primary estimation of the low-frequency motion noise, and a primary estimation of corresponding time-domain low-frequency motion noise is:

      bn=F−1[Br(ω)·H(ω)]  (8).


Considering that when a signal intensity is large, the signal may be picked up by the reference coil 3, Bn may contain a leakage of the useful signal. Therefore, the primary estimation of the low-frequency motion noise is subjected to ground station reference processing to obtain a secondary estimation result of the low-frequency motion noise, and a specific processing process is as follows: by applying a correlation reference method between the reference coil 3 and the measuring coil 2, a primary estimation result of the low-frequency motion noise and data obtained by the ground vertical magnetic field sensor 9 in the ground reference station 8 are subjected to correlation reference processing to recover signals lost in noise estimation. A signal obtained by the ground vertical magnetic field sensor 9 in the ground reference station 8 is defined as bs, and the primary estimation of the low-frequency motion noise includes two parts: the secondary estimation bns of the low-frequency motion noise and the leakage of the useful signal, and the leaked signal is related to the signal obtained by the ground vertical magnetic field sensor 9 in the ground reference station 8, and a mapping function is h2(n), that is, a following relationship is satisfied:

y3(n)=bs(n)  (9)
y4(n)=bn=bns+h2(n)*bs(n)  (10).


Correlation mapping steps are repeated for y3 and y4, and a formula (3) to a formula (6) are referred to obtain:

where SY3Y4 is a cross-power spectrum of the primary estimation of the low-frequency motion noise and the vertical magnetic field response of the ground reference, and SSS is a self-power spectrum of the vertical magnetic field signal (data) obtained by the ground vertical magnetic field sensor 9 in the ground reference station 8.


Therefore, the useful signal in the primary estimation of the low-frequency motion noise is:

bsr=F−1[Bs(ω)·H2(ω)]  (12), and

    • the secondary estimation of the low-frequency motion noise is:

      bns=F−1[Bn−Bs(ω)·H2(ω)]  (13),


Finally, a vertical magnetic field response signal of the measuring coil 2 after the secondary estimation to cancel the low-frequency motion noise is obtained:

bzs=y2−bns=bzm+bsr  (14).


In order to verify the effectiveness of the disclosure, modeling processing is carried out in a simulation way. As shown in FIG. 2, there is a three-layer earth model, in which a specific meaning of the model is: in an earth with 100 ohm meters of surrounding rock, there is a low-resistivity ore bed with a thickness of 50 meters and a resistivity of 10 ohm meters at a buried depth of 500 meters.


There are three curves in FIG. 3A: curve TS1 is the time series of response voltage of the measuring coil 2, curve TS2 is the time series of response voltage of the reference coil 3, and curve TS3 is the time series of response voltage after denoising.


There are three curves in FIG. 3B: curve BP1 is the response voltage spectrum of the measuring coil 2, curve BP2 is the response voltage spectrum of the reference coil 3, and curve BP3 is the response voltage spectrum after denoising.


Through the comparison in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, it may be seen that the signal-to-noise ratio of magnetic field data is obviously improved after denoising, especially in a low frequency band less than 10 Hz, which is most obviously affected by the low frequency noise. At simulated exploration frequencies of 1 Hz, 2 Hz, 4 Hz and 8 Hz, before denoising, the signal-to-noise ratio is less than 10 dB, which may not meet requirements of conventional magnetic field data measurement accuracy. After denoising, the signal-to-noise ratios are −32 dB, −43 dB, −73 dB and −70 dB respectively, and the signal-to-noise ratios are all higher than 20 dB, which meets the requirements of conventional magnetic field data measurement accuracy. From the perspective of original magnetic field signal measurement, the effectiveness of the technical scheme of the disclosure is illustrated.



FIG. 4A: Comparison of magnetic induction intensity curves before and after denoising. Curve B1 is a magnetic induction intensity curve of the measuring coil 2, curve B2 is an ideal magnetic induction intensity curve, and curve B3 is a magnetic induction intensity curve after denoising.



FIG. 4B: Comparison of apparent resistivity curves before and after denoising. Curve R1 is an apparent resistivity curve of the measuring coil 2, curve R2 is an ideal apparent resistivity curve, and curve R3 is an apparent resistivity curve after denoising.



FIG. 4C: Relative error curves of apparent resistivity before and after denoising. Curve E1 shows relative errors of apparent resistivity with noise, and curve E2 shows relative errors of apparent resistivity after denoising.


It may be seen from FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C that the magnetic induction intensity curve and the apparent resistivity curve obtained after denoising are closer to ideal model curves, and the apparent resistivity curves before denoising show a decreasing trend from high frequency to low frequency (a corresponding depth is from shallow to deep). False anomalies are introduced, so a three-layer structure in a model shown in FIG. 2. After denoising, the apparent resistivity curve appears flat areas at both ends. In a middle frequency band of 1000-10 Hz, the apparent resistivity first increases and then decreases, and a lowest value is lower than the apparent resistivity in the flat areas at both ends. The apparent resistivity curve conforms to a response law of a general three-layer model. Therefore, comparing the curves before and after denoising, it may be determined that the system may not detect the low-resistivity ore bed with a buried depth of 500 meters and a thickness of 50 meters before denoising, but the system may obviously detect the low-resistivity ore bed after denoising. In an embodiment, from the perspective of apparent resistivity imaging results, the effectiveness and advancement of this scheme are verified.


To sum up, the system and the method provided by the disclosure may realize rapid exploration of mineral resources, and further improve the exploration accuracy of the system compared with traditional schemes.
