OpenEM dataset advances AI in geological exploration

Researchers have introduced OpenEM, a large-scale 3D dataset designed to advance the application of deep learning in electromagnetic (EM) methods for geological exploration. Existing datasets are often too simple and lack standardization, hindering the development of effective deep learning models. OpenEM addresses this by providing a comprehensive collection of geoelectric models with diverse and complex subsurface structures, including layered, folded, and faulted formations. The dataset is accompanied by a 3D model generator for flexible data augmentation, aiming to accelerate progress in AI-driven EM exploration. AI

IMPACT Provides a standardized, large-scale dataset to improve the accuracy and generalization of AI models in geological exploration.

    OpenEM: Large-scale multi-structural 3D datasets for electromagnetic methods

    arXiv:2510.21859v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Electromagnetic (EM) methods, owing to their efficiency and non-invasive nature, have become one of the most widely used techniques in geological exploration. Nevertheless, data processing for these methods remains highly time-c…
