Abstract For density inversion of gravity anomaly data, once the inversion method is determined, the main factors affecting the inversion result are the inversion parameters and subdivision scheme. A set of reasonable inversion parameters and subdivision scheme can,not only improve the inversion process effi ciency, but also ensure inversion result accuracy.The gravity inversion method based on correlation searching and the golden section algorithm is an effective potential fi eld inversion method. It can be used to invert 2D and 3D physical properties with potential data observed on fl at or rough surfaces. In this paper, we introduce in detail the density inversion principles based on correlation searching and the golden section algorithm. Considering that the gold section algorithm is not globally optimized,we present a heuristic method to ensure the inversion result is globally optimized. With a series of model tests, we systematically compare and analyze the inversion result effi ciency and accuracy with different parameters. Based on the model test results, we conclude the selection principles for each inversion parameter with which the inversion accuracy can be obviously improved.
