Solution Overview

Problem

Existing techniques face a decrease in detection accuracy when a signal to be detected exists at the boundary of divided spectrum images.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus that divides a spectrum image into multiple images, detects specific signals in each image, and integrates signals across adjacent images based on coordinate and power level analysis to enhance detection accuracy.

ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The spectrum image is divided into multiple divided spectrum images for parallel processing, improving processing speed while maintaining the ability to detect signals through coordinate integration across divided regions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Detection results from multiple divided spectrum images are integrated by combining coordinate information and determining signal continuity across boundaries, resolving the accuracy loss caused by division and enabling complete signal detection even when signals span multiple divided regions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
