(Short) History of planting inversion

● Uieda and Barbosa (early 2012) based on René (1986)

● For gravity and gradients

● Deal with computational difficulties

– A lot of data

– Large meshes

● A way to input geologic/geophysical information

● Improvements at SEG 2012

Why it grows that way

● Choice of the best:

1. Not random

2.

3. Smallest goal function

Conclusion

● Fast geometry estimation

● Known magnetization

● Seed position

● Data weights = more robust

● Magnetization of A2 ≠ ME

– Probably higher
