Inversion of self-potential anomalies caused by simple polarized bodies based on particle swarm optimization

Abstract

Prticle swarm optimization (PSO) is adopted to invert the self-potential anomalies of simple geometry. Taking the vertical semi-infinite cylinder model as an example, the model parameters are first inverted using standard particle swarm optimization (SPSO), and then the searching behavior of the particle swarm is discussed and the change of the particles’ distribution during the iteration process is studied. The existence of different particle behaviors enables the particle swarm to explore the searching space more comprehensively, thus PSO achieves remarkable results in the inversion of SP anomalies. Finally, six improved PSOs aiming at improving the inversion accuracy and the convergence speed by changing the update of particle positions, inertia weights and learning factors are introduced for the inversion of the cylinder model, and the effectiveness of these algorithms is verified by numerical experiments. The inversion results show that these improved PSOs successfully give the model parameters which are very close to the theoretical value, and simultaneously provide guidance when determining which strategy is suitable for the inversion of the regular polarized bodies and similar geophysical problems.
