Regional Geomagnetic Map Construction based on Support Vector Machine Residual Kriging

Regional geomagnetic maps are widely used in geomagnetic navigation and magnetic anomaly detection. However, the complexity of geomagnetic spatial trend changes and the spatial sparseness of the geomagnetic data affect the accuracy of regional geomagnetic map construction. In order to improve the accuracy of regional geomagnetic maps, this paper proposes the Support Vector Machine Residual Kriging method (SVMRKriging). First, Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used to fit the geomagnetic trend changes, then the residual component is interpolated by ordinary Kriging, and finally these two parts are added to construct a regional geomagnetic map. Experiments were performed using geomagnetic grid data and aeromagnetic data. The experiment results show that SVMRKriging method can improve the accuracy of regional geomagnetic maps with geomagnetic trend changes.
