METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MAPPING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE USING MOTES

摘要

A method for mapping a three-dimensional structure and obtaining information on the condition of said structure. The method includes injecting a plurality of motes into the structure causing the plurality of motes to travel through the one or more channels, the motes including a sensor and a storage, the motes being arranged designed to obtain a sensor-value measured by the sensor and to store the sensor-value in the storage, thus obtaining a time series of measured sensor-values in the storage, retrieving at least part of the plurality of motes from the structure, obtaining from said retrieved motes the time series of measured sensor-values stored in the retrieved motes, thus obtaining a set of measured time series, determining the structure or the condition by comparing the set of measured time series with a simulation.

1. A method for mapping a three-dimensional structure, the method comprising
injecting a plurality of motes into the structure causing the plurality of motes to travel through the three-dimensional structure, the motes comprising a sensor and a storage, the motes being arranged to obtain a time series of measured sensor-values in the storage by measuring sensor-values with the sensor and storing the sensor-values in the storage, thus, retrieving at least part of the plurality of motes from the structure obtaining from said retrieved motes the time series of measured sensor-values stored in the retrieved motes, thus obtaining a set of measured time series, selecting a candidate-map for the three-dimensional structure, simulating injecting a plurality of virtual motes into the candidate-map and the traveling of the plurality of virtual motes through the candidate-map, determining a goodness of fit between the candidate-map and the three-dimensional structure by matching the set of measured time series with said simulation.
