Abstract
With the proposal of intelligent mines, the demand for drilling is increasing daily. Therefore, it is particularly crucial to gather more geological data by interpolation of limited drilling data for subsequent three-dimensional geological modeling. In this paper, a hybrid sparrow optimization Kriging model (HSSA), in which chaos theory and Levy flight are integrated into the initial population update algorithm of the sparrow algorithm and the location update algorithm of the entrants, is proposed. Next, the golden sine optimization algorithm is introduced into the reconnaissance and early warning mechanism of the sparrow algorithm to further improve the accuracy and local escape ability. By the correlation optimization of the original sparrow algorithm, the speed and accuracy of swarm intelligence optimization are further improved. In addition, the model solves the parameters of the variation function of the ordinary Kriging interpolation and reduces the generation error of the formation data interpolation. The results of relevant experiments show that the hybrid sparrow optimization Kriging model improves the accuracy and convergence speed compared with other swarm intelligence algorithms and that the accuracy of this model is improved by 8.4% compared with the original Kriging interpolation algorithm. Based on the hybrid sparrow optimization Kriging model, we propose a three-dimensional stratigraphic model for the Yangchangwan Coal Mine, which provides further support for mining operations and three-dimensional stratigraphic research in this area. The accuracy and applicability of the hybrid sparrow optimization Kriging model are further explained using a case study with the stratigraphic model data in the Yangchangwan Coal Mine. HSSA with significant potential for applications in industries such as coal mining and geological exploration. In these fields, the efficient acquisition, processing, and modeling of stratigraphic data are critical for enhancing geological interpretation and optimizing operational workflows.
