Abstract

Summary

We implement two different inversion strategies for solving the inversion of full-waveform induced polarization data (FWIP inversion): the first is a local inversion based on the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm, whereas the second is a global inversion driven by the Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO). We limit the attention to synthetic data with the aim to maintain the inversion at a simple level and to draw essential conclusions about the suitability of the two approaches for solving the FWIP inversion. However, realistic noise is added to the simulated data in order to better simulate a field dataset and a tailored processing sequences is applied to the synthetic, noise-contaminated data to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, the analysis of residual function maps and the sensitivity analysis of the inversion kernel allow us to gain a better insight into the ill-conditioning of the FWIP inverse problem. It turns out that the FWIP is a well-posed problem in case of double-peaked resistivity spectra, whereas it becomes a hopelessly ill-conditioned problem when the subsurface model generates single-peaked resistivity spectra. The LM and PSO methods give comparable results, although the gradient-based approach achieves faster convergence and more stable predictions.
