Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and apparatus for identifying deformation of a structure. Training deformation data is identified for each training case in a plurality of training cases. Training strain data is identified for each training case in the plurality of training cases. The training deformation data and the training strain data are configured for use by a heuristic model to increase an accuracy of output data generated by the heuristic model. A group of parameters for the heuristic model is adjusted using the training deformation data and the training strain data for the each training case in the plurality of training cases such that the heuristic model is trained to generate estimated deformation data for the structure based on input strain data. The estimated deformation data has a desired level of accuracy.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: a heuristic model configured to generate estimated deformation data for a structure based on input strain data; and a trainer configured to identify training deformation data and training strain data for each training case in a plurality of training cases, train the heuristic model using the training deformation data and the training strain data identified for the each training case in the plurality of training cases such that the…
