Converting magnetic field depth solutions to a three-dimensional seismic data format

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Magnetic field depth solutions are calculated for a magnetic field survey. These depth solutions are defined spatially by x y and z , co-ordinates. A digital three dimensional zero matrix is constructed by a computer program to represent a prism of earth underlying the area of the magnetic field survey. The matrix is subdivided evenly into elements representing smaller bins or prisms. Unit values are assigned to those elements to which the depth solutions correspond spatially. The resulting matrix values therefore represent a density or frequency of occurrence per unit volume of the magnetic depth solution points. The matrix elements are then spread to surrounding elements by …
