Vertical electrical sounding survey and resistivity inversion using genetic algorithm optimization technique

Object-based model verification by a genetic algorithm approach: Application in archeological targets

“…Some genetic algorithms that use a 1D conceptual model for the interpretation of vertical electrical sounding data have been described by Başokur et al (2007), Fernández Alvarez et al (2008), Jha et al (2008) and Sen and Stoffa (1995). Chunduru et al (1995) compared global methods for the interpretation of apparent resistivity profiling data by using some regular geometrical bodies, such as a dike and a sphere.…”

Developed Forward and Inverse Modelling of Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) Using MATLAB Implementation

“…The promising results obtained so far suggest that GA can be successfully applied to other areas of geophysics, including resistivity inverse problems. For example, Jha et al, [10] developed GA optimization technique for resistivity inversion from vertical electrical sounding (VES) using computer code in 'C' programming language. In this paper, we provide and test Matlab code that calculates an inversion of the apparent resistivity of a layered earth in VES.…”

“…Davis [2], Nagai et al, [6]; Jha et al, [10]; Kohlbeck and Mawlood [11], Hamimu et al, [8,9]. However, FORTRAN and C programming languages impose a rather expensive burden on users in integrating complicated numerical algorithms with visual data analysis compared with MATLAB, which provides integrated functionality of computation and visualization.…”

“…5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.15, 18, 21, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 m. The YES measuring equipment used was an ABEM Terrameter SAS 1000 resistivity system. The YES data were processed with a global optimization technique based on a genetic algorithm [14]. This algorithm has some advantages compared with gradient based (i.e.…”
