Title: THE APPLICATION OF LINEAR FILTER THEORY TO THE DIRECT INTERPRETATION OF GEOELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY SOUNDING MEASUREMENTS*
Abstract: A bstract Koefoed has given practical procedures of obtaining the layer parameters directly from the apparent resistivity sounding measurements by using the raised kernel function H (λ) as the intermediate step. However, it is felt that the first step of his method—namely the derivation of the H curve from the apparent resistivity curve—is relatively lengthy. In this paper a method is proposed of determining the resistivity transform T (λ), a function directly related to H (λ), from the resistivity field curve. It is shown that the apparent resistivity and the resistivity transform functions are linearily related to each other such that the principle of linear electric filter theory could be applied to obtain the latter from the former. Separate sets of filter coefficients have been worked out for the Schlumberger and the Wenner form of field procedures. The practical process of deriving the T curve simply amounts to running a weighted average of the sampled apparent resistivity field data with the pre‐determined coefficients. The whole process could be graphically performed within an quarter of an hour with an accuracy of about 2%.
