چکیده
The Frequency-domain helicopter-borne electromagnetic (FHEM) applications are industrially feasible, as long as there is a fairly fast algorithm which is accurate enough for inversion of the tremendous amount of survey data. In the present study a comparison between 1D, pseudo-2D, and pseudo 3D Occam’s inversions has been made with analysis of data from field data set acquired in the north of central Iran. In 1D Occam’s inversion approach the model regularization contains only vertical smoothing constraints with sharp layer interfaces in the horizontal direction. In pseudo-2D Occam’s inversion, 1D Occam’s inversions could be horizontally constrained with each other along a flight line. Finally, 1D Occam’s inversion regularized through 3D constraints on resistivity structure. The results show that pseudo-3D Occam’s inversion gives fewer inversion artifacts, better model recognition, smoother, and more continuous models and are effectively reducing the effects of data noise.

Abstract
The Frequency-domain helicopter-borne electromagnetic (FHEM) applications are industrially feasible, as long as there is a fairly fast algorithm which is accurate enough for inversion of the tremendous amount of survey data. In the present study a comparison between 1D, pseudo-2D, and pseudo 3D Occam’s inversions has been made with analysis of data from field data set acquired in the north of central Iran. In 1D Occam’s inversion approach the model regularization contains only vertical smoothing constraints with sharp layer interfaces in the horizontal direction. In pseudo-2D Occam’s inversion, 1D Occam’s inversions could be horizontally constrained with each other along a flight line. Finally, 1D Occam’s inversion regularized through 3D constraints on resistivity structure. The results show that pseudo-3D Occam’s inversion gives fewer inversion artifacts, better model recognition, smoother, and more continuous models and are effectively reducing the effects of data noise.
