Title: Preliminary results on: 3D MT Inversion through Evolution of Ellipsoid Functions
Abstract:
For some time genetic algorithms (GAs) have been successfully applied to the problem of 1D and 2D MT inversion. There is, however, a much smaller amount of work on the application of GAs to 3D inversion. This may be partly because traditional GA encodings of models can result in extremely long genomes when used to express 3D models. This talk describes new work that uses genomes that parametrically encode a model as a series of ellipsoidal volumetric functions (metaballs). This compact representation is much more amenable to evolution whilst still providing enough flexibility to express reasonably detailed models. The talk will present some very early results and discuss future directions in the development of the algorithm.

Want to learn more about what's happening on Mars? Check out our public lecture from November delivered Dr John Clinton and titled MarsQuakes! (5/5) youtu.be/_Lp0oLJ8Ahs
And then this Thursday @NASAMars Perseverance rover reaches Mars, which will try to land in a near equatorial crater called Jezero. Here you can see a possible route around the crater. (4/5)
Last Wednesday, the day the UAE revealed their first image of Mars, China's National Space Administration's Tianwen-1 arrived at Mars. This carries a rover which will be despatched to the surface in the coming months. (3/5) bbc.com/news/science-e…
First up is the @uaespaceagency's Hope mission entered orbit this day last week. It is the first inter-planetary mission by the UAE, and will stay in a wide orbit for one Martian year or two earth years to study climate and weather. (2/5)
It's a busy month over at our planetary neighbour Mars. Three missions headed there have or will enter orbit this month. Why so many at one time? They were timed to launch when the distance between the Earth and Mars was relatively short. (1/5)
