Abstract
The present invention is directed to a self consistent system for generation and adaptive implementation of overflying multi sensor measurements and derivation of actionable aggregants pertinent to determination of status and proactive management models of distributed resource. The system includes at least one set of calibrated overflying multisensor detectors arranged for detecting signals from electromagnetic radiation redirected by a plurality of underlying structures having a combination of features having variable scale lengths.
Claims17
A system for generation and adaptive implementation of overflying multi sensor measurements and derivation of actionable aggregants pertinent to determination of status and proactive management models of at least one distributed resource comprising:
- at least one set of calibrated overflying multisensor detectors arranged for detecting signals from electromagnetic radiation redirected by a plurality of underlying structures having a combination of features having at least one scale length of interest;
- at least one data processing computing device arranged for determination of a at least one set of overflight parameters and arranging and preprogramming the at least one set of overflying multisensor detectors for detecting and processing signals from electromagnetic radiation redirected by the plurality of underlying structures having the combination of features having the at least one scale length of interest;
- an overflying apparatus arranged for enabling overflights and performing in-flight acquisition, preprocessing, and storing of data sets resulting from the multisensor measurements using the at least one set of overflying multisensor detectors;
- at least one subsystem arranged for transferring the preprocessed data sets to at least one data analysis computing device arranged for analyzing the transferred data sets using the determined set of overflight parameters and a set of predetermined overflying multisensor detectors calibration data;
- a subsystem for harmonization of the analyzed transferred data sets corresponding to the underlying structures, the features, the at least one scale length of interest and the actionable aggregants of interest;
- and determination of satisfactory consistency of the harmonized transferred data sets;
- and, in a case of unsatisfactory consistency of harmonized transferred data sets, determination of needs for additional data sets;
- a subsystem arranged for adding the analyzed transferred data sets having satisfactory consistency into a database organized for storage and relational retrieval of data at least regarding the actionable aggregants, underlying structures, the features having the at least one scale length of interest, and time;
- and
- a subsystem arranged for obtaining external data pertinent to the actionable aggregants, underlying structures, the features having the at least one scale length of interest, and time and adding it relationally into the database;
- wherein the at least one data analysis computing device have been arranged for determination of sufficiency of the analyzed transferred data sets for derivation of actionable aggregants pertinent to determination of status and proactive management of at least one distributed resource of interest, and, in a case of insufficient analyzed data sets, determination of needs for additional data sets.
