FDEMtools3

FDEMtools3: a MATLAB package for FDEM data inversion.
Authors: G. P. Deidda, P. Díaz De Alba, C. Fenu, G. Lovicu, F. Pes, and G. Rodriguez
This package provides a set of Matlab functions to solve a non-linear electromagnetic data inversion problem. Starting from electromagnetic data collected by a ground conductivity meter, we reconstruct either the electrical conductivity or the magnetic permeability of the soil with respect to depth by a regularized Gauss-Newton method. The inversion algorithm is based on the low-rank approximation of the Jacobian of the nonlinear model, which depends both on a relaxation parameter and a regularization parameter, chosen by automatic procedures. It also include a module for forward modelling.
