description High-precision vector magnetic field detection has been widely used in the fields of celestial magnetic field detection, aeromagnetic detection, marine magnetic field detection and geomagnetic navigation. Due to the large amount of data, the 3D inversion of high-precision magnetic gradient vector data often involves a large number of computational requirements and is very time-consuming. In this paper, a 3D magnetic gradient tensor (MGT) inversion method is developed, based on using a convolutional neural network (CNN) to automatically predict physical parameters from the 2D images of MGT. The information of geometry, depth and parameters such as magnetic inclination (I), magnetic declination (D) and magnetization susceptibility of magnetic anomalies is extracted, and a 3D model is obtained by comprehensive analysis. The method first obtains sufficient MGT data samples by forward modeling of different magnetic anomalies. Then, we use an improved CNN with shear layers to achieve the prediction of each magnetic parameter. The reliability of the algorithm is verified by numerical simulations of synthetic models of multiple magnetic anomalies. MGT data of the Tallawang magnetite diorite deposit in Australia are also predicted by using this method to obtain a slab model that matches the known geological information. The effects of sample size and noise level on the prediction accuracy are discussed. Compared with single-component prediction, the results of multi-component joint prediction are more reliable. From the numerical model study and the field data validation, we demonstrate the capability of using CNNs for inversing MGT data.
