Magnetic surveys have been used for a wide range of studies such as oil and gas exploration, mining applications and mapping bedrock topography. Inversion of magnetic data is the most important step in the interpretation of magnetic anomalies. Due to the existence of 2-D geological structures such as fracture zones, faults, dikes, rift zones and anticlines, 2-D inversion of magnetic data is very practical. Magnetic data inversion has two main problems about non-uniqueness and instability of the solution which can be obviated by using constraints and a priori information. Non-uniqueness is the consequence of two ambiguities: I) following Gauss theorem, there are many equivalent sources that can produce the same known field at the surface (theoretical ambiguity), II) since the parameterization of the problem is such that there are more unknowns than observations, the system does not provide enough information in order to uniquely determine model parameters (algebraic ambiguity). Every measurement of data on the earth’s surface contains some noise which imposes a large amount of changes on the inverse solution, therefore the problem is also ill-posed. There are many constraints including compactness, minimization of inertia around an axis or a point, depth weighting etc. Different combinations of these constraints in the objective function lead to different algorithms each of which are appropriate for some cases. In this paper, an inversion algorithm based on inserting a combination of compactness and depth weighting constraints in the regularized weighted minimum length solution is introduced. Compactness constraint, introduced by Last and Kubic, tries to minimize the area of the anomalous body in 2-D. Depth weighting function, introduced by Li and Oldenberg, is utilized to counteract the natural decay of kernel, so all the cells have an equal probability during the inversion. The subsurface is discretized into many horizontal prisms with infinite length in one direction, which is required for 2-D modeling, and the susceptibility of each prism is assumed to be constant. Model parameters, susceptibilities contrast, is also limited between a lower and upper bound. This algorithm was programmed in MATLAB software and its efficiency was investigated by applying it on synthetic models and real data. The first synthetic model is a vertical dyke and inversion process was done for free-noise and noisy data and in both cases recovered models were satisfactory. The second model was composed of two parallel dip dykes in different depths which is a complex synthetic case. Inverting free-noise data leads to the well recovering true model. Reconstructed model obtained from noisy data actually represented an acceptable model. Therefore, results of synthetic cases were promising enough and convince us in order to apply the algorithm on real cases. Finally, the algorithm was applied on two real data sets: i) real data of the buried metallic pipes for gas transmission in Qaleh-Showkat area, Shahrood, ii) an archeological data profile of an area in old Pompeii city near Naples in Italy. This profile intersects three walls. Inversion result of the first data set using this algorithm represents an anomaly at 35 m from the start point of profile with depth to top of about 1 m and its high recovered susceptibility value was suggestive of iron or steel pipe. The derived model from archeological data were suggestive of four anomalies: the first weak anomaly was not related to any of the three walls, the horizontal and vertical extensions of the second and third anomalies were in good agreement with the first two walls and the fourth one at the end of the profile has a great difference range depth with the third wall. One main reason can be related to the imperfect profile at the end where it is not being backed to the background value.
