Solution Overview

Problem

SAR image generation processes that filter received signals to reduce data volume lead to missing information and false detections, affecting the precision and accuracy of object and environmental observations.

Innovation Solution

A learning model and signal processor are used to process received signals from a flying object, converting them into meta-information with high precision and accuracy, enabling accurate observation and change detection by associating the signals with meta-data using machine learning techniques.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If filtering is applied to the received signal to reduce data volume, then the computational burden of compression is reduced, but information may be lost or falsely detected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompression processing speedVSAvoidobservation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies filtering as a preliminary action before compression processing to reduce data volume. By pre-filtering the received signal in the frequency domain, the system removes unnecessary frequency components before the computationally intensive compression process, thereby reducing computational burden while preserving essential information for accurate observation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of the received signal by applying frequency domain filtering. This parameter change selectively removes certain frequency components while preserving others, optimizing the balance between data reduction and information retention. The filtering operation transforms the signal in the frequency domain, keeping only the most relevant frequency ranges for subsequent compression and observation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If filtering removes parts of the received signal, then data volume is reduced, but precision of observation is affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata volumeVSAvoidobservation precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by selectively filtering specific frequency components of the received signal rather than uniformly processing all data. The filtering operation targets particular frequency ranges that are less critical for observation, thereby reducing data volume while preserving the quality and precision of the most important signal components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes parameters of the received signal through frequency domain filtering, transforming the signal to selectively remove or attenuate specific frequency components. This parameter transformation reduces the quantity of data while maintaining the precision of observation by preserving the most informative frequency ranges.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a learning model, a signal processor, a flying object, and a program that enable appropriate observation of the situation of an observed object or the environment around the observed object. The learning model is learned by using teaching data with a first received signal as input, the first received signal being based on a reflected electromagnetic wave that is an electromagnetic wave emitted to a first target area and then reflected, and with first meta-information as output, the first meta-information corresponding to the first received signal and having a predetermined item, so as to input a second received signal based on a reflected electromagnetic wave that is an electromagnetic wave emitted to a second target area and then reflected, and to output second meta-information corresponding to the second received signal and having a predetermined item.
