  • Patent number: 11528061
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, calculating a Fresnel zone about a line of sight (LoS) between a pair of antennas positioned on antenna mounts. The Fresnel zone is projected onto a geospatial grid of 3D cells, each having a height above a horizontal plane. Cells that intersect the Fresnel zone projection are selected to obtain a subset cells with constraint heights determined according to heights of the subset cells that are adjusted according to the Fresnel zone. The LoS is revised according to an algorithm to obtain a set of updated LoS. Those updated LoS that do not intersect the set of adjusted constraint heights are identified as solutions that include an optimal solution, should one exist. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220351008
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining user input identifying a first user-identified network feature of a training image of a geographical region. The training image and the user-identified feature are provided to a neural network adapted to train itself according to the user-identified features to obtain a first trained result that classifies objects within the image according to the user-identified feature. The training image and the first trained result are displayed, and user-initiated feedback is obtained to determine whether a training requirement has been satisfied. If not satisfied, the user-initiated feedback is provided to the neural network, which retrains itself according to the feedback to obtain a second trained result that identifies an updated machine-recognized feature of the training image. The process is repeated until a training requirement has been satisfied, after which a map is annotated according to the machine-recognized feature.
