Solution Overview

Problem

Existing geoscientific data estimation methods using machine learning often ignore regions with high-value data, leading to low estimation accuracy due to data preprocessing techniques that recognize these regions as singular points or ignore them, thus neglecting important information.

Innovation Solution

A data analysis apparatus and method that aligns geoscientific data by size, groups it based on order distribution, and generates classification and regression models for each group using satellite data as explanatory variables, ensuring that high-value regions are included in the learning model.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If data preprocessing techniques are used to remove or ignore high-value regions as singular points, then data processing simplicity is improved, but estimation accuracy deteriorates due to loss of important information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing simplicityVSAvoidestimation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts high-value regions from the training data and processes them separately through a dedicated extraction unit. Instead of removing these regions as conventional preprocessing does, the system isolates them to apply appropriate handling that preserves their important information while maintaining overall system simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Rather than removing high-value regions as conventional methods do, the patent inverts this approach by specifically extracting and preserving them. The inversion transforms the problem from filtering out anomalies to actively retaining and utilizing valuable extreme data points for improved estimation accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Productivity

If conventional machine learning models are used that ignore high-value regions, then model training speed is improved, but information completeness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel training speedVSAvoidinformation completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the training data into normal regions and high-value regions, processing them through different pathways. The extraction unit isolates high-value regions while the main training process handles常规数据, allowing both speed and completeness to be optimized through divided processing strategies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The extraction unit acts as an intermediary component that bridges the gap between fast conventional training and complete information utilization. It prepares high-value region data in a way that allows efficient integration into the overall model training without compromising speed or completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If all data including high-value regions are included in the learning model, then estimation accuracy is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveestimation accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the data processing pipeline into distinct segments: an extraction unit for high-value regions, a main training unit for conventional data, and an integration mechanism. This segmentation manages complexity by organizing complex tasks into modular, manageable components with clear responsibilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The extraction unit performs preliminary processing of high-value regions before they are integrated into the main model training. This preliminary action prepares the data in advance, reducing the computational burden during main training and overall system complexity while ensuring accurate utilization of all data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
