  • Publication number: 20250116770
    Abstract: In Microwave radar imaging, obtaining high resolution microwave image from materials remains a challenge due to comparatively longer wavelength. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system for microwave imaging by Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output along with Synthetic Aperture Radar. A back-scattered signal is received from object at a target as an input. The back-scattered signal is rearranged to generate sub-array elements. A Fourier transform of the sub-array elements is computed by deploying two dimensional Fast Fourier transform to obtain two dimensional Fast Fourier transform of the sub-array elements. The 2D FFT of the sub-array elements is vectorized to obtain vectorized stacked sub-array matrix. The stacked sub band of the 2D FFT of the entire aperture array is reordered to obtain a two dimensional Fast Fourier transform of the entire aperture array. Three-dimensional reflectivity function of the target is estimated from the 2D FFT of the entire aperture array.

  • Publication number: 20240420215
    Abstract: Unlike visual similarity, visual compatibility is a complex concept. Existing approaches for outfit compatibility prediction does not focus on methods with personalization. The present disclosure proposes a novel approach to model the user's preference for different styles. The outfit compatibility prediction module is a critical component of an outfit recommendation system. An outfit is said to be compatible if all the items are visually compatible and match the user's preferences. The present disclosure represents the outfit as a graph and uses Graph Neural Network (GNN) with attention mechanism to capture the inter-relationship between the items. A graph read-out layer generates the final outfit embedding. The proposed approach efficiently models the preferences of the users for different styles. Finally, the outfit compatibility score is generated by computing the similarity between the outfit embedding and the user embedding.

  • Publication number: 20240422334
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to reducing earth-bound image volume with an efficient lossless compression technique. The embodiment thus provides a method and system for reducing earth-bound image volume based on a Spiking Neural Network (SNN) model. Moreover, the embodiments herein further provide a complete lossless compression framework comprises of a SNN-based Density Estimator (DE) followed by a classical Arithmetic Encoder (AE). The SNN model is used to obtain residual errors which are compressed by AE and thereafter transmitted to the receiving station. While reducing the power consumption during transmission by similar percentages, the system also saves in-situ computation power as it uses SNN based DE compared to its Deep Neural Network (DNN) counterpart. The SNN model has a lower memory footprint compared to a corresponding Arithmetic Neural Network (ANN) model and lower latency, which exactly fit the requirement for on-board computation in small satellite.

  • Publication number: 20240420387
    Abstract: Detecting cancer early can significantly reduce mortality rate, but this still remains a challenge owing to shortcomings in early screening and detection with existing modalities. Cancer detection is done using known screening methods such as X-ray mammography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound imaging (US). But these conventional methods have their own limitations such as compression discomfort, inherent health risks, expensive, and consume more time and effort. Present disclosure provides system and method for enhanced microwave imaging (MWI) for efficient breast tumor detection by scanning subject's specific body portion to optimize the scan duration. The MWI is framed as an inverse problem by building forward model using a Point Spread Function (PSF) and is solved by imposing sparsity prior since tumor is concentrated to limited regions. The entire scanning duration is optimized by viewing the problem as a sequential decision making process for a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) agent.

  • Publication number: 20240280678
    Abstract: Conventional ESPRIT (Estimation of Signal Parameters via Rational Invariance Techniques) cannot be directly applied to SFCW MIMO radar for localization of targets as the performance would be restricted by geometry of spatial MIMO. Thus, the present disclosure provides a method and system for localization of targets using SFCW MIMO radar. In this method, the channel response of the virtual uniform rectangular array (vURA) obtained by scanning at uniformly spaced frequency points is combined to form a larger array referred as Space-Frequency (SF) array. The 3D localization of targets is done by estimating azimuth angle, elevation angle and range using this SF array. The localization capability of the disclosed method largely depends upon the number of frequency scanning points and enables localizing far more targets than the dimension of the vURA. In addition, the inter-element spacing requirement of vURA is also greatly relaxed.

  • Patent number: 12018989
    Abstract: Temperature measurement is an important part of many potential applications in the fields of metallurgy. Conventional temperature measurement methods do not provide accurate and precise average temperature of fluid inside an enclosed chamber. The present disclosure provides multi-sensory techniques for measuring average temperature of mixed fluid inside a chamber. The average temperature is measured based on acoustic interferometry technique on standing wave and inputs received from one or more sensors and radar. The present disclosure utilizes radar to compensate the effect of fumes, noise based on Doppler effect. Further, the inputs received from the one or more sensors are used to determine the concentration of one or more fluids present in the chamber. The method of proposed disclosure depends on the principle of dependence of temperature on sound speed in fluid. So, measurement of sound speed can be mapped to report average temperature of mixed fluid inside the chamber.
