Zero‐phase two‐dimensional recursive filters, with a specified frequency domain response, have been designed for processing potential field data. In the case of second vertical derivative filters, it is possible to use the rational approximation of symmetrical functions of a single variable for the design of a short recursive filter. The filter so designed has an excellent response in the frequency domain. For vertical gradient and continuation filters, a method is developed for obtaining, by the least‐squares method, a rational expression for a two‐dimensional symmetrical function. In order to ensure the stability of the recursive filter, the denominator of the rational expression is approximated by a product of two factors, each being a function of a single variable. Finally, to keep the error of the filter response as small as possible, an iterative procedure is used for adjusting the zeros of the denominator and then determining the coefficients of the numerator of the rational expression.

Compressive inversion uses computational algorithms that decrease the time and storage needs of a traditional inverse problem. Most compression approaches focus on the model domain, and very few, other than traditional downsampling focus on the data domain for potential-field applications. To further the compression in the data domain, a direct and practical approach to the adaptive downsampling of potential-field data for large inversion problems has been developed. The approach is formulated to significantly reduce the quantity of data in relatively smooth or quiet regions of the data set, while preserving the signal anomalies that contain the relevant target information. Two major benefits arise from this form of compressive inversion. First, because the approach compresses the problem in the data domain, it can be applied immediately without the addition of, or modification to, existing inversion software. Second, as most industry software use some form of model or sensitivity compression, the addition of this adaptive data sampling creates a complete compressive inversion methodology whereby the reduction of computational cost is achieved simultaneously in the model and data domains. We applied the method to a synthetic magnetic data set and two large field magnetic data sets; however, the method is also applicable to other data types. Our results showed that the relevant model information is maintained after inversion despite using 1%–5% of the data.

With the continuing growth in influence of near surface geophysics, the research of the subsurface structure is of great significance. Geophysical imaging is one of the efficient computer tools that can be applied. This paper utilize the inversion of potential field data to do the subsurface imaging. Here, gravity data and magnetic data are inverted together with structural coupled inversion algorithm. The subspace (model space) is divided into a set of rectangular cells by an orthogonal 2D mesh and assume a constant property (density and magnetic susceptibility) value within each cell. The inversion matrix equation is solved as an unconstrained optimization problem with conjugate gradient method (CG). This imaging method is applied to synthetic data for typical models of gravity and magnetic anomalies and is tested on field data.
