• Abstract: We present a mapping algorithm to compute large-scale magnetic field maps in indoor environments with approximate Gaussian process (GP) regression. Mapping the spatial variations in the ambient magnetic field can be used for localization algorithms in indoor areas. To compute such a map, GP regression is a suitable tool because it provides predictions of the magnetic field at new locations along with uncertainty quantification. Because full GP regression has a complexity that grows cubically with the number of data points, approximations for GPs have been extensively studied. In this paper, we build on the structured kernel interpolation (SKI) framework, speeding up inference by exploiting efficient Krylov subspace methods. More specifically, we incorporate SKI with derivatives (D-SKI) into the scalar potential model for magnetic field modeling and compute both predictive mean and covariance with a complexity that is linear in the data points. In our simulations, we show that our method achieves better accuracy than current state-of-the-art methods on magnetic field maps with a growing mapping area. In our large-scale experiments, we construct magnetic field maps from up to 40000 three-dimensional magnetic field measurements in less than two minutes on a standard laptop.

  We introduce Soft Kernel Interpolation (SoftKI) designed for scalable Process (GP) regression on high-dimensional datasets. Inspired by Structured Interpolation (SKI), which approximates a GP kernel via a structured lattice, SoftKI approximates a kernel via softmax from a smaller number of learned points. By abandoning the lattice structure used in SKI-based methods, SoftKI separates the cost of forming an approximate GP kernel from the dimensionality of the data, making it well-suited for high-dimensional datasets.

  We introduce probabilistic unrolling, a method that combines Monte Carlo sampling with iterative linear solvers to circumvent matrix inversions. Our theoretical analyses reveal that unrolling and backpropagation through the iterations of the solver can accelerate gradient estimation for maximum likelihood estimation. In experiments on simulated and real data, we demonstrate that probabilistic unrolling learns latent Gaussian models up to an order of magnitude faster than gradient EM, with minimal losses in model performance.

  We propose a new approach to the optimal placement of sensors for reconstructing geophysical fields from sparse measurements. We demonstrate our method on the two examples: (a) temperature and (b) salinity fields around the Barents Sea and the Svalbard group of islands. We find out that the obtained optimal sensor locations have clear physical interpretation and correspond to the boundaries between sea currents.

• Magnetic Field Prediction Using Generative Adversarial Networks [0.0]
  We predict magnetic field values at a random point in space by using a generative adversarial network (GAN) structure. The deep learning (DL) architecture consists of two neural networks: a generator, which predicts missing field values of a given magnetic field, and a critic, which is trained to calculate the statistical distance between real and generated magnetic field distributions. Our trained generator has learned to predict the missing field values with a median reconstruction test error of 5.14%, when a single coherent region of field points is missing, and 5.86%, when only a few point measurements in space are available.
