Title: Random forests for detecting weak signals and extracting physical information: a case study of magnetic navigation
Authors: Mohammadamin Moradi, Zheng-Meng Zhai, Aaron Nielsen, Ying-Cheng Lai
Abstract summary: Two machine-learning architectures, reservoir computing and time-delayed feed-forward neural networks, can be exploited for detecting the Earth's anomaly magnetic field in a GPS-denied environment. We exploit the machine-learning model of random forests that combines the output of multiple decision trees to give optimal values of the physical quantities of interest. We show that the random-forest algorithm performs remarkably well in detecting the weak anomaly field and in filtering the position of the aircraft.

Abstract: It was recently demonstrated that two machine-learning architectures, reservoir computing and time-delayed feed-forward neural networks, can be exploited for detecting the Earth's anomaly magnetic field immersed in overwhelming complex signals for magnetic navigation in a GPS-denied environment. The accuracy of the detected anomaly field corresponds to a positioning accuracy in the range of 10 to 40 meters. To increase the accuracy and reduce the uncertainty of weak signal detection as well as to directly obtain the position information, we exploit the machine-learning model of random forests that combines the output of multiple decision trees to give optimal values of the physical quantities of interest. In particular, from time-series data gathered from the cockpit of a flying airplane during various maneuvering stages, where strong background complex signals are caused by other elements of the Earth's magnetic field and the fields produced by the electronic systems in the cockpit, we demonstrate that the random-forest algorithm performs remarkably well in detecting the weak anomaly field and in filtering the position of the aircraft. With the aid of the conventional inertial navigation system, the positioning error can be reduced to less than 10 meters. We also find that, contrary to the conventional wisdom, the classic Tolles-Lawson model for calibrating and removing the magnetic field generated by the body of the aircraft is not necessary and may even be detrimental for the success of the random-forest method.

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.
