A new software for gravity gradiometry data forwarding and inversion

Abstract

A new software has been developed specially for gravity gradiometry data forwarding and joint inversion. It is developed with hybrid programming technique and some powerful function libraries, including language of Python and C, Matplotlib, PyQt and so on. The software could help the users with graphical user interface, implement the data import/export and some management, the simple visualization in 2/3 dimension, modeling for gravity exploration data, and 3D density inversion. One of the advantages of this software is combining the popular development techniques to make the research of the forwarding and inversion easily, another one is simple secondary development, which allows the users to add their algorithms to the platform. The software is mainly used for the teaching and scientific research purposes, suitable for the geophysical scientists, engineers and graduate student.
