Application of Marine Magnetometer for Underwater Object Exploration: Assessment of Depth and Structural Index / 海洋磁力儀於水下物體探測之應用—深度與構造指標之評估

碩士 / 國立中山大學 / 海下科技暨應用海洋物理研究所 / 100 / Magnetic survey is a common geophysical exploration technique. By measuring the magnetic field strength at specific area, the characteristics and physical meaning of the target can be obtained through the analysis of the Earth''s magnetic field anomalies within a stratigraphic zone or archaeological sites. In recent years, the marine magnetometer is employed to conduct underwater archaeological expedition at surrounding waters of Taiwan for ancient shipwrecks researching. The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between the magnetic anomalies with the magnetic object via the various signal processing methods, included the calculation horizontal and vertical derivatives using fast Fourier transform (FFT) to eliminate the regional magnetic influence and gain the anomalies characteristics of the target itself, as well as highlight the location and boundaries of the magnetic source through the analytical signal. In addition, the Euler deconvolution implements as a tool for magnetic source inversion. The theory of Euler deconvolution was first proposed by Thompson (1982), this method is able to detect the magnetic source and estimate its locations by choosing the suitable structural index. Hsu (2002) proposed the enhanced Euler deconvolution, which is a combined inversion for structural index and source location through the use of the vertical derivative of measured data.In this study, we first generate various anomalies as testing models which are correspond with different geometric shape of magnetic source, the position and structural index for model is inversed by enhanced Euler deconvolution in both 2D and 3D.Moreover, the experiment was planned at offshore of Dalinpu in Kaohsiung, we took the CPC''s pipelines as investigation objects which were buried under the seabed, than compare with sub-bottom profiler data to assess the feasibility of this method for underwater exploring applications.The most estimated results in 2D are correspond to the theory, but it does not have significant results in 3D due to the lack of observed data for the whole surface.In general, this method is concise and fast, it is fit for interpreting the magnetic data for exploring the underwater object.
