TRANSFORMATION OF LINE-SOURCE RESISTIVITY DATA TO POINT-SOURCE DATA AND VICE VERSA USING THE MATRIX METHOD1

Investigations have shown the existence of a linear relationship between point-source resistivity data and line-source resistivity data through a matrix operator, which paves the way for the efficient transformation of line-source data to the corresponding point-source data and vice versa. The power of these equations has been established by computational examples. The relationship will be useful in the modelling and inversion of resistivity data from 2D structures.
