MUMBAI, India, Nov. 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202514032550 A) filed by The Boeing Company, Arlington, U.S.A., on April 2, for 'image processing system for determining satellite configuration and properties.'
Inventor(s) include Gerwe, David Roderick; and Okkelberg, Klaus Zhang.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 7, under issue no. 45/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A method (600) for satellite component classification includes, at a satellite classification system (100), receiving a test image (104) depicting a satellite (108), the satellite (108) having a hardware component configuration (110) that is unknown to the satellite classification system (100). The test image (104) is input to a satellite classification model (102) trained, based at least in part on a plurality of training satellite images (402), to generate output image segmentation maps for input satellite images. The satellite classification model (102) outputs an output image segmentation map (112) for the test image (104), one or more position parameters (118) for the satellite (108), and one or more attitude parameters (116) for the satellite (108). The output segmentation map (112) includes a plurality of map pixels (114) corresponding to a plurality of image pixels (106) in the test image (104), wherein pixel values of the plurality of map pixels(114) classify corresponding image pixels (106) of the test image (104) as depicting different hardware components of the satellite (108)."
