Abstract

Joint inversion is a crucial approach to mitigate the non-uniqueness problem in geophysical inversion. Nevertheless, existing joint inversion methods fall short of meeting the stringent requirements of high-precision exploration, necessitating the development of new techniques. In this paper, we introduce the Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) as a novel structural consistency constraint for the joint inversion of gravity and magnetic data. Compared with the results of cross-gradient inversion, our method demonstrates outstanding performance and stability. SSIM inversion not only introduces a new class of joint inversion with structural constraints but also enhances the consistency of inversion results in the distribution of physical attribute values. The structural constraints of SSIM inversion are more comprehensive and robust, significantly improving the reliability of the inversion. Both synthetic and real data applications demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively handle both synthetic and real data, yielding outstanding results.
