occam1ddc

Toy Occam inversion code for 1D DC (Schlumberger) method in Matlab

DATA

The example data are (literally) copied from Table 4 of the Constable 1987 paper. See:

Constable, S. C., Parker, R. L., & Constable, C. G. (1987). Occam’s inversion: A practical algorithm for generating smooth models from electromagnetic sounding data. Geophysics, 52(3), 289–300.

still not easy to imagine how you do an AB for 20,000 m(?

see also my toy occam code for magnetotellurics:

USAGE

See example/testbench.m for a simple demonstration on how to load the data and call the inversion code.

something like a disclaimer

This was one of many toy codes I fiddled with when I was a student - I hope this could be useful to our students nowadays in the EM community. Those who want to try this script are free to use it on academic/educational cases. But of course, I cannot guarantee the script to be working properly and calculating correctly (although I wish so). Have you any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me (but don't you expect that I will reply quickly!).

HOW TO GET IT

git clone https://github.com/dong-hao/occam1ddc/ your_local_folder

UNITS

The internal scale here is log10(Ohmm) - instead of linear scale for both resistivity and apparent resistivity. The layer depth and AB/2 are in (linear) metres.

ERRORS

Currently the internal error here is standard deviation.

HOW TO GET UPDATED

cd to_you_local_folder
git pull
