Associate memories for system identification: Inverse problems in remote sensing (Q809034)

The problems of remote sensing of physical parameters of planets from satellites is an important inverse of radiative transfer. The task is to estimate unknown parameters which appear in the system of ordinary differential equations and in the initial conditions. Estimates for these parameters in a routine manner had not really been solved until associative memories approach had been tested. A systematic procedure for obtaining the needed initial estimates is investigated, and this approach, based on the concept of associative memories has already produced excellent computational results.
