Abstract: How to improve the accuracy of data interpretation by improving the mine transient electromagnetic inversion methods has always been an important issue for the study of mine transient electromagnetic method. The mine transient electromagnetic inversion methods are classified into qualitative approximate inversion method, the iterative inversion method based on the objective function and joint inversion method, and a general review of their characteristics and limitations are discussed. By analyzing the development tendency of mine transient electromagnetic inversion, we can come to a conclusion that improving the theory and method of total space inversion, studying on joint inversion especially in nonlinear way as well as multi-dimensional inversion would be the trend of detailed detection and quantitative interpretation.
