Abstract

Summary

Electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensors allow for non-invasive soil characterizations. Proximal soil sensing using EMI hindered due to the problems related to the inversion of apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) data. In this study, I used Bayesian inference to obtain the electrical conductivity layering of the subsurface from multi-configuration EMI data. In this respect, generalized formal likelihood function was used to more accurately describe the sensitivity of the posterior parameter distribution to residual assumptions. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) was employed as a model compression technique to reduce the number of unknown parameters in the inversion. I considered apparent electrical conductivity pseudosection as a training image (TI) in multiple-point statistical simulations. Information from TI realizations were utilized to determine dominant DCT coefficients, as well as prior probability density functions for the subsequent probabilistic inversions. The potentiality of the proposed approach was examined through an experimental scenario. The results demonstrated that this methodology allows for soil electrical conductivity imaging with high resolution. This strategy permits to incorporate summary metrics from ensemble of ECa pseudosection realizations in the inversion without resorting to any complimentary source of information. The proposed approach ensures accurate and high resolution characterization of soil conductivity layering from measured ECa values.
