Abstract

In geophysics, we usually have several Earth models based on different types of data: seismic, gravity, etc. Each of these models captures some aspects of the Earth structure. To get the more description of the Earth, it is desirable to "fuse" these models into a single one. To appropriately fuse the models, we need to know the accuracy of different models. In this paper, we show that the traditional methods cannot be directly used to estimate these accuracies, and we propose a new method for such estimation.
