RESINVM3D: A 3D resistivity inversion package Adam Pidlisecky1, Eldad Haber2, and Rosemary Knight1 ABSTRACT We have developed an open source 3D, MATLAB based, resistivity inversion package. Is revealed by low-resistivity values (resistivity values (>600 m) depicted in the central part of the study zone. Keywords: geotechnical engineering, resistivity survey, 3D inversion (Some figures in this article are in colour only in the electronic version) 1. Scott MacInnes, Ken Zonge, Zonge Engineering and Research Organization, Tucson, Arizona, USA. Recent software improvements enable routine smooth-model inversion of resistivity and induced polarization (IP) data. Nearly uniform starting models are generated by running broad moving-average filters over lines of dipole-dipole or pole-dipole.

EarthImager 3D is ideal for resistivity imaging—even in areas where there is a large topographic variation—without producing a noisy image. The final image can be rotated in any orientation, zoomed in and out, and translated to anywhere inside the image window in order to see the feature of interest in three-dimensional detail. It may show the shape of a hidden cave, the volume of a detected ore body, or the extent of an environmental spill plume.

AGI EarthImager 3D Use Cases
EarthImager 3D is for use in geotechnical and geologic industries, including the following applications:
Resistivity Inversion Software
- Outlining the shape of caves and voids.
- Calculating the volume of caves and voids.
- Visualizing the bedrock surface.
- Pinpointing precise well location for groundwater exploration.
- Outlining the shape of an ore body during mineral exploration.
- Calculating the volume of an ore body during mineral exploration.
- Mapping the extent of environmental spills.
- Monitoring the progress of an environmental clean-up procedure.
- Calculating volumes and extent of sand, gravel, or clay during aggregate mapping.
One example of AGI EarthImager 3D at work is when imaging a cave. If you discovered the cavern using 2D imaging software, you wouldn’t be able to tell where you needed to drill in order to hit an exact location, as objects to the side of the 2D survey line gets “folded” in on the 2D image. This happens because the injected current does not simply flow downwards into the ground, but flows through the ground in all directions. 3D imaging does not have this limitation, as it can take spatial data and model the geometries in the correct location—ensuring that your drilling location is exact and accurate for more precise projects.

Why groundwater exploration? This workshop’s purpose was important: As water—especially groundwater—becomes more and more scarce (and thus, valuable) knowing exactly where and how to find it will become more crucial. That’s where we come in. Background Coma..
- Panama Canal: Boat Towed 3D Resistivity Surveys - Case StudyThe Panama Canal Authority (ACP) needed to expand the canal in order to accommodate larger ships (and more traffic)—but first, they needed to know two things: what types of sediment loads needed to be dredged out—and more importantly—how much these loads would cost. That’s where AGI marine resistivity imaging methods come in. For two months in 2008, a team used boat-towed streaming marine resistivity data to successfully estimate the geotechnical properties of the canal floor in order to..
