Fast Localization of Underground Targets by Magnetic Gradient Tensor and Gaussian-Newton Algorithm With a Portable Transient Electromagnetic System

Differential evolution (DE) algorithm, which is a global convergence algorithm, is often used to estimate the position of underground targets detected with a portable transient electromagnetic (TEM) system. The DE algorithm is extremely time-consuming due to thousands of iterations. A new algorithm...
