GENERATING HIGH-RESOLUTION CONCENTRATION MAPS FOR ATMOSPHERIC GASES USING GEOGRAPHY-INFORMED MACHINE LEARNING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044783 titled 'GENERATING HIGH-RESOLUTION CONCENTRATION MAPS FOR ATMOSPHERIC GASES USING GEOGRAPHY-INFORMED MACHINE LEARNING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for generating high-resolution atmospheric gas concentration maps using machine learning and remote sensing data. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:

  • The method starts by obtaining a remote sensing dataset that includes atmospheric gas concentration data for multiple gases within a specific geographic area.
  • A training dataset is generated based on the remote sensing dataset, which will be used to train a machine learning model.
  • The machine learning model is trained using the training dataset to predict atmospheric gas concentration values for the given geographic area.
  • The spatial resolution of the predicted gas concentration values is higher than the spatial resolution of the input data.
  • The trained model can be used to generate one or more high-resolution atmospheric gas concentration maps for the geographic area.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Environmental monitoring: The high-resolution gas concentration maps can be used to monitor air quality and identify areas with high pollution levels.
  • Climate research: The maps can provide valuable data for studying the distribution and movement of atmospheric gases, contributing to climate change research.
  • Urban planning: The maps can help urban planners understand the spatial distribution of gases and make informed decisions regarding infrastructure development and pollution control measures.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Limited spatial resolution: Traditional remote sensing data may have lower spatial resolution, making it challenging to accurately assess gas concentrations in specific areas.
  • Data availability: Remote sensing data may not be readily available for all geographic areas, especially at high resolutions.
  • Time-consuming analysis: Manual analysis of remote sensing data to estimate gas concentrations can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Benefits of this technology:

  • High-resolution mapping: The method allows for the generation of high-resolution gas concentration maps, providing detailed information about gas distribution in specific areas.
  • Efficiency: By using machine learning, the process of predicting gas concentrations is automated, saving time and effort compared to manual analysis.
  • Geographic specificity: The method can generate gas concentration maps for specific geographic areas, allowing for targeted analysis and decision-making.
