Abstract

The present disclosure addresses unresolved problems of task scheduling by adding redundancy in a collection task schedule generated by a ground control station. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a randomization based redundant collection task scheduling for mitigating occlusions in sensing by small satellite constellations. The randomization based redundant collection task scheduling algorithm receives as input a set of region of observations tessellated into sub-regions, and then collection opportunities for each sub-region is computed based on satellite tracks data. Further, a sub-set of collection opportunities is determined from all the possible collection tasks for each sub-region to further generate the collection task schedule for each of the region of observation. Number of collections opportunities is controlled by a decay function which holds number of redundant collections to a bound, thereby increasing chance of good collection without investing too much resource in redundancy to mitigate occlusions.

Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to long-form answer extraction and, more particularly, to long-form answer extraction based on combination of sentence index generation techniques. Existing answer extractions techniques have achieved significant progress for extractive short answers; however, less progress has been made for long form questions that require explanations. Further the state-of-art long-answer extractions techniques result in poorer long-form answers or not address sparsity which becomes an issue longer contexts. Additionally, pre-trained generative sequence-to-sequence models are gaining popularity for factoid answer extraction tasks. Hence the disclosure proposes a long-form answer extraction based on several steps including training a set of generative sequence-to-sequence models comprising a sentence indices generation model and a sentence index spans generation. The trained set of generative sequence-to-sequence models is further utilized for model long-form answer extraction based on a union of several sentence index generation techniques comprising a sentence indices and a sentence index spans.

Abstract

Simulation of dynamic physical systems is done using iterative solvers. However, this iterative process is a time consuming and compute intensive process and, for a given set of simulation parameters, the solution does not always converge to a physically meaningful solution, resulting in huge waste of man hours and computation resource. Embodiments herein provide a method and system for stabilizing a diverged numerical simulation and accelerating a converged numerical simulation by changing one or more control parameters. An automatic monitoring mechanism of residue history (to interpret convergence or divergence) and a subsequent control logic to auto-tune the under-relaxation factor would help in stabilizing a diverging simulation and reaching faster convergence by accelerating converging simulation.

Abstract

Works in the literature fail to leverage embedding access patterns and memory units' access/storage capabilities, which when combined can yield high-speed heterogeneous systems by dynamically re-organizing embedding tables partitions across hardware during inference. A method and system for optimal deployment of embeddings tables across heterogeneous memory architecture for high-speed recommendations inference is disclosed, which dynamically partitions and organizes embedding tables across fast memory architectures to reduce access time. Partitions are chosen to take advantage of the past access patterns of those tables to ensure that frequently accessed data is available in the fast memory most of the time. Partition and replication is used to co-optimize memory access time and resources. Dynamic organization of embedding tables changes location of embedding, hence needs an efficient mechanism to track if a required embedding is present in the fast memory with its current address for faster look-up, which is performed using spline-based learned index.

Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to program synthesis for weakly-supervised multimodal question answering using filtered iterative back-translation (FIBT). Existing approaches for chart question answering mainly address structural, visual, relational, or simple data retrieval queries with fixed-vocabulary answers. The present disclosure implements a two-stage approach where, in first stage, a computer vision pipeline is employed to extract data from chart images and store in a generic schema. In second stage, SQL programs for Natural Language (NL) queries are generated in dataset by using FIBT. To adapt forward and backward models to required NL queries, a Probabilistic Context-Free Grammar is defined, whose probabilities are set to be inversely proportional to SQL programs in training data and sample programs from it. Compositional similarity-based filtration strategy employed on the NL queries generated for these SQL programs enables synthesizing, filtering, and appending NL query-SQL program pairs to training data, iteratively moving towards required NL query distribution.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a system and method for delay prediction for scheduled public transport. A multi-architectural deep learning approach has been used to predict the delays of a queried vehicle in the scheduled public transport. For this, historical operational data is transformed into temporal, and spatiotemporal data. While, the spatial data is obtained from geographical information. The system uses different combinations of neural networks architectures. A regressor model uses three separate kinds of architecture. One component is the Fully Connected Neural Network (FCNN), which is good at learning from static features, the second is the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) network which is good at learning from temporal features, and the third is the 3D Convolutional Neural Network (3DCNN) which is good at learning from spatiotemporal features. Learned encoding from each are fed to another FCNN to produce the predicted delay value.

Abstract

The disclosure generally relates to an FPGA-based online 3D bin packing. Online 3D bin packing is the process of packing boxes into larger bins-Long Distance Containers (LDCs) such that the space inside each LDC is used to the maximum extent. The use of deep reinforcement learning (Deep RL) for this process is effective and popular. However, since the existing processor-based implementations are limited by Von-Neumann architecture and take a long time to evaluate each alignment for a box, only a few potential alignments are considered, resulting in sub-optimal packing efficiency. This disclosure describes an architecture for bin packing which leverages pipelining and parallel processing on FPGA for faster and exhaustive evaluation of all alignments for each box resulting in increased efficiency. In addition, a suitable generic purpose processor is employed to train the neural network within the algorithm to make the disclosed techniques computationally light, faster and efficient.

This disclosure relates generally to the field of Electroencephalogram (EEG) classification, and, more particularly, to method and system for EEG motor imagery classification. Existing deep learning works employ the sensor-space for EEG graph representations wherein the channels of the EEG are considered as nodes and connection between the nodes are either predefined or are based on certain heuristics. However, these representations are ineffective and fail to accurately capture the underlying brain's functional networks. Embodiments of present disclosure provide a method of training a weighted adjacency matrix and a Graph Neural Network (GNN) to accurately represent the EEG signals. The method also trains a graph, a node, and an edge classifier to perform graph classification (i.e. motor imagery classification), node and edge classification. Thus, representations generated by the GNN can be additionally used for node and edge classification unlike state of the art methods.

Abstract

Model-based image reconstruction (MBIR) methods using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) as priors have demonstrated superior image quality and robustness compared to conventional methods. Studies have explored MBIR combined with supervised and unsupervised denoising techniques for image reconstruction in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET). Unsupervised methods like the deep image prior (DIP) have shown promising results and are less prone to hallucinations. However, since the noisy image is used as a reference, strategies to prevent overfitting are unclear. Recently, Bayesian DIP (BDIP) networks that model uncertainty tend to prevent overfitting without requiring early stopping. However, BDIP has not been studied with data-fidelity term for image reconstruction. Present disclosure provides systems and method that implement a MBIR framework with a modified BDIP. Specifically, an uncertainty-based penalty is included to the BDIP to improve reconstruction across iterations.

Abstract

Embodiments herein provide a method and system for a vicarious calibration of optical data from satellite sensors for urban scene flat fields. Identifying test sites automatically in the urban scene helps in vicarious calibration or on-board calibration of the hyperspectral/multispectral image. An internal average relative reflectance is calculated to get a relative reflectance of the image. Band ratios for various pixels is determined to assess flatness of the spectrum. Flat field candidates are identified from the various pixels having average band ratio nearing zero and a morphological technique is applied to determine a flat field. Finally, the image is calibrated vicariously based on the determined flat field as a test site. The on-board calibration of the remote sensing image may lead to a faster way to get the reflectance image of the scene, with the help of the calibration constants.

Abstract

Embodiments herein provide a method and system for a hyperspectral artificial vision for machines. The system receives a hyperspectral signal of a target material as an input to a neural network model. The system initializes by selecting the number of primitive layers to be used. The system iteratively cycles through all training data (pixels) and updating weights for each unsuccessful material class prediction. Model with two primitives serves as baseline, after which the system adds another primitive layer and repeats the training procedure. The system keeps repeating these processes until obtains convergence. Where the system come to a halt, the system obtains the optimal number of primitives for the given materials. The generated new color pixel is used as a discriminator to aid in locating the target material. The new artificial color is a mixture of weighted chromatic primitives which are optimized for sensitivity/(Spectral Response Functions) SRFs.

Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to system and method for classification of sensitive date using federated semi-supervised learning. Federated learning has emerged as a privacy-preserving technique to learn one or more machine learning (ML) models without requiring users to share their data. In federated learning, data distribution among clients is imbalanced resulting with limited data in some clients. The method includes extracting a training dataset from one or more data sources and pre-processing the training dataset into a machine readable form based on associated data type. Further, a federated semi-supervised learning model is iteratively trained based on a model contrastive and distillation learning to classify sensitive data from the unlabeled dataset. Then, sensitive data from a user query is received as input which are classified using the federated semi-supervised learning model.

Abstract

Garments in their natural form are represented by meshes, where vertices (entities) are connected (related) to each other through mesh edges. Earlier methods largely ignored this relational nature of garment data while modeling garments and networks. Present disclosure provides a particle-based garment system and method that learn to simulate template garments on the target arbitrary body poses by representing physical state of garment vertices as particles, expressed as nodes in a graph, and dynamics (velocities of garment vertices) is computed through a learned message-passing. The system and method exploit this relational nature of garment data and network implemented to enforce strong relational inductive bias in garment dynamics thereby accurately simulating garments on the target body pose conditioned on body motion and fabric type at any resolution without modification even for loose garments, unlike existing state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods.

Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) reconstruction and finds wide application in remote sensing. Conventional approaches either involve huge computational requirement for processing or require specialized hardware along with many additional Radio Frequency (RF) components. The present disclosure provides two approaches for temporally sampling a received pulse compressed signal at two sub-sampling factors, wherein both methods involve frugal hardware implementation. Reconstruction approach of the art is based on the principle of difference ruler and is not suitable for SAR image reconstruction due to the large measurements and image dimensions. In accordance with the present disclosure, the reconstruction problem is framed as an inverse imaging problem by suitably using a forward model and employing an approach like Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) for solving this model which allows use of readily available Plug and Play (PnP) priors.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and system for Phaseless Passive Synthetic Aperture Radar (PPSAR) imaging. Existing method for image reconstruction requires large number of measurements for satisfactory PPSAR image reconstruction. However, this leads to provisioning of more on-board storage and/or a high-speed data link between a mobile platform and a ground station. These requirements are undesirable in practice as PPSAR image reconstruction systems are deployed on resource constrained platforms. The present disclosure uses a regularized Wirtinger Flow (rWF) based approach that uses appropriate regularizers to facilitate the PPSAR image reconstruction with fewer measurements. Further the PPSAR image reconstruction is achieved using Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) by employing standard denoisers such as Total Variation (TV), Block-matching and 3D filtering (BM3D) and, Deep Image Prior (DIP). Further the present disclosure considers an actual location of transmitter for PPSAR imaging that yields better image reconstruction.

Abstract

One of the biggest challenges faced by oil and gas companies is to monitor such long pipelines for leak events and generate false leak event alarms during routine pipe maintenance. A data associated with a first sensing unit is processed to obtain an instant timing information (T0) of a leak event in a conduit at a test environment. A data associated with a second sensing unit is processed to obtain a transient signal associated with the leak event at a specific band. An accelerometer data is filtered to obtain a band passed filtered accelerometer signal (Accelbpf). The Accelbpf is truncated in a time domain from the T0 to a duration Td of the leak event to obtain a temporal template signal (Acceltemplate). A leak event of a real-time conduit is dynamically detected at a physical environment based on Acceltemplate when a cross-correlation value is greater than a threshold value (∝).

Abstract

In retail, macro space optimization is carried out at individual stores to allocate optimum space for each category. Each retailer has many stores and macro space optimization is experimented with different objectives such as expand space, reduce space and constant space of a store individually. Thus, the number of space recommendations analyzed at corporate level increases extremely high and making it difficult to bring key inferences out of these recommendations and creating challenges in implementation of results such as creation of planograms and floor plans. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for identifying underlying patterns that reside in space recommendations across stores and creating drastically reduced number of floor plans and planograms in accordance with the identified set of patterns unlike large number of floor plans or planograms generated by state of the art space planning systems.

Abstract

Plant health estimation is required to be performed so as to detect any health issues in early stages, so as to take counter measures. Existing systems for the plant health estimation perform the health estimation by considering data obtained from satellite images of the plants being monitored. However this alone may not be much effective as the satellite images fail to provide information on many parameters which have direct or indirect impact on health of the plants. Disclosed herein are a method and a system for plant health estimation, wherein the system performs health estimation at a macro level and a micro level. The macro level health estimation is done using satellite images of the plants as inputs, whereas the micro level health estimation is done by collecting and processing sensor data with respect to various parameters that affect health of a plant.

Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to identification and mitigation of bias while training deep learning models. Conventional methods do not provide effective methods for bias identification, and they require pre-defined concepts and rules for bias mitigation. The embodiments of the present disclosure train an auto-encoder to produce a generalized representation of an input image by decomposing into a set of latent embedding. The set of latent embedding are used to learn the shape and color concepts of the input image. The feature specialization is done by training an auto-encoder to reconstruct the input image using the shape embedding modulated by color embedding. To identify the bias, permutation invariant neural network is trained for classification task and attribution scores corresponding to each concept embedding are computed. The method also performs de-biasing the classifier by training it with a set of counterfactual images generated by modifying the latent embedding learned by the auto-encoder.

Representation learning and clustering is performed iteratively using labeled and unlabeled utterances from known intents and unlabeled utterances from unknown intents to fine-tune PLM and a plurality of clusters is generated. Cluster merger algorithm is executed iteratively on generated plurality of clusters. A query cluster is obtained by randomly selecting one cluster from the plurality of clusters and by obtaining a corresponding plurality of nearest neighbors based on a cosine-similarity. A response for merging the query cluster and corresponding plurality of nearest neighbors is obtained, and a new cluster is created. The corresponding cluster representation is recalculated and each of the new cluster is interpreted as an intent.

Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein model lifelong intent detection as a class-incremental learning where a new set of intents/classes are added at each incremental step. To address the issue of catastrophic forgetting during lifelong intent detection (LID), an incremental learner is provided with Prompt Augmented Generative Replay, wherein unlike existing approaches that store real samples in replay memory, only concept words obtained from old intents are stored, which reduces memory consumption and speeds up incremental training still enabling not forgetting the old intents. Joint training of an incremental learner is carried out for LID and a pseudo-labeled utterance generation with objective is to classify a user utterance into one of multiple pre-defined intents by minimizing a total Loss function comprising a LID loss function, a Labeled Utterance Generation loss function, a Supervised Contrastive Training loss function, and a Knowledge Distillation loss function.

Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to recommending an optimal VM instance. The increased use of Deep Learning (DL) models in several domains has resulted in an increased demand for hardware configurations to enable heavy computations and faster performance to support the DL techniques. However, the identification of the optimal hardware configuration for the DL requirement is challenging and requires a considerable amount of time and expertise, considering the highly configurable model configuration of DL techniques. The disclosed optimal selection of VM comprises several techniques including benchmarking, using benchmarked results for building an approximation function and use a Bayesian Optimizer (BO) technique to iterate through the search space and generate recommendations of VM configurations, that effectively address the challenges arising due to the dynamic nature of cloud services—pricing and hardware configuration, large number of VM available across regions and cloud service providers and estimating for different types of training code.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and system for early detection of COVID-19. Existing methods require data from multiple sensors for training a prediction model whose output is considered as final prediction which is actually the prediction for a particular day or time instance. However, this prediction doesn't detect actual infection of COVID-19 since it requires monitoring the change in health of the user over consecutive days. Embodiments of present disclosure overcome these challenges by a prediction model for COVID-19 which requires only data from Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor seamlessly collected from a wearable device still able to provide accurate COVID-19 prediction with application of a post processing technique on the predictions of the prediction model. Since COVID-19 symptoms have an effect on heartrate and oxygen saturation which are effectively captured by PPG sensor data, studying these dynamics during infection period gives insights to perform early detection of COVID-19.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a model for deep learning based image feature extraction considering a range of useful negative features. Conventional methods are either considering only positive features or considering all negative features along with positive features which leads to bias in feature extraction. The present disclosure overcomes the problem of the conventional methods using a bounded Rectified Linear activation Unit (B-ReLU) activation function based Bounded-Rectifier Network (B-RectNet). Initially, the present disclosure receives an image pertaining to an object. Further, the received image is preprocessed to remove a plurality of anomalies associated with the image a preprocessing technique. Further, a plurality of image features are extracted based on the preprocessed image using a trained B-RectNet. The bounded ReLU activation function filters a plurality of negative features based on a lower negative bound value and an upper negative bound value before inputting a plurality of feature values to a subsequent layer.

Abstract

Organizations/manufacturers have used scenarios to make business decisions. It has been difficult to apply scenarios in dealing with tactical opportunities due to lack of integration of changing inputs for consistent decision making. Conventionally, tools are cumbersome and depend on pre-structured and individually validated data requiring significant expert involvement. Present disclosure manages decision scenarios and optimizes total sourcing cost by obtaining various inputs and retrieving decision scenarios from a database. An optimization technique and/or a simulation technique is performed on the decision scenarios to obtain the total sourcing cost that is based on a quantity filled for each source-entity-destination combination and a corresponding unit lane cost. A decision scenario is selected from the pre-defined decision scenarios based on the total sourcing cost and an ordering schedule for associated demands is created accordingly. The selected decision scenario is further fine-tuned such that the total sourcing cost reaches close to a target cost.

Abstract

State of the art techniques used for document processing and particularly for handling processing of images for data extraction have the disadvantage that they have large computational load and memory footprint. The disclosure herein generally relates to text processing, and, more particularly, to a method and system for generating a data model for text extraction from documents. The system prunes a pretrained base model using a Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (LTH) algorithm, to generate a LTH pruned data model. The system further trims the LTH pruned data model to obtain a structured pruned data model, which involves discarding filters that have filter sparsity exceeding a threshold of filter sparsity. The structured pruned data model is then trained from a teacher model in a Knowledge Distillation algorithm, wherein a resultant data model obtained after training the structured pruned data model forms the data model for text detection.

Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to methods and systems for automated image segmentation of an anatomical structure such as heart. Most of the techniques in literature are using 2-D or slice by-slice data due to lightweight and need of less data for training. These networks lack 3-D contextual information. Further, the conventional techniques are inaccurate and inefficient in the 3-D image segmentation till the last slice of the image. The present disclosure solves automated 3-D image segmentation of the anatomical structure such as heart, by proposing a new Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) based architecture for the 3-D segmentation, with a patch-based extraction technique and a class-weighted generalized dice loss. The proposed 3-D GAN based architecture is capable of storing the 3-D contextual information for the image segmentation of the anatomical structure, with high accuracy.

Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to optimal intraday scheduling of aggregated Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). Owing to their stochastic nature, DERs aggregators are more suited to participate in intraday electricity markets. The current works on DER aggregators trading in intraday markets do not satisfactorily model the different aspects. The disclosure is an optimal trading strategy for aggregators managing heterogeneous DERs to participate in intraday markets. The intraday market is modelled using a joint price-volume dynamics distribution and an optimal bidding strategy is disclosed for the trades/bids placed earlier to be corrected based on the revised forecasts of demand and generation while allowing for energy exchanges within the DER pool. Further the optimal bidding strategy of aggregators in an intraday market is a MINLP problem, which is solved by converting the complex non-linearities in the problem into a coupled MILP—simple maximization set-up, which is then solved in an iterative fashion.

Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of electrolyte design. Existing methods focus on optimizing the electrolyte composition on a stand-alone basis with respect to its properties and validating battery performance experimentally which is a time-consuming process. Thus, embodiments of present disclosure provide an automated method and system for identifying electrolyte composition for optimal battery performance. The system receives certain input parameters and computes transport properties using the input. Then, a feasible electrolyte composition is identified from a material database based on deviation index metric. The identified electrolyte composition is then optimized based on the input by considering the deviation index and battery performance metrics such as capacity fade and internal heat generation. Simulation case studies performed show that the method is capable of identifying a new electrolyte from the material database as well as identify optimal concentration of same electrolyte which results in better performance of the battery.

Abstract

Enterprises need assurance that their internal documents like policies, procedures, controls, standard operating procedures (SOPS) are adherent to the regulatory obligations. In conventional practice this requires a manual effort where legal, business and IT experts collaborate for assuring completeness and consistency in enterprise documents with respect to regulatory obligations, thereby establishing regulatory hygiene. Governance risk and compliance (GRC) frameworks help experts with collaboration but do not provide automation aids necessary to reduce the analysis and synthesis burden. Present disclosure provides system and method for determining hygiene in the plurality of enterprise documents with respect to the plurality of regulatory obligations by extracting concept ontology models from multiple enterprise documents and multiple regulations and enabling navigation across multiple documents via the ontology. The system further reasons out how this form of navigation or creating a common navigable ontology enables establishing hygiene in enterprise documents with respect to regulatory obligations.

Abstract

Owing to their stochastic nature, Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are more suited to participate in short-term or intraday electricity markets. However, it is very difficult for an asset owner to manage their operation when interacting with markets and create operation schedules. Present disclosure provides systems and methods that for the trades/bids placed earlier to be corrected based on the revised forecasts of demand and generation in the DER pool. The system models an optimal bidding problem of aggregators in an intraday market as a mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem. The MINLP problem is converted to an NLP problem by an optimization model and integer variables are relaxed to solve the NLP problem and obtain (i) an optimal intraday operating schedule for one or more DERs, and (ii) an intraday bid associated with the DERs for a plurality of delivery slots to be traded in an intraday market.

Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to methods and systems for designing an optimal dual-band metamaterial polarization converter for refractive index sensing applications. Most of the existing techniques for designing the metamaterial-based polarization converters operating at very high frequency range limits the sensing performance and increases fabrication complexity. In the design of the optimal dual-band metamaterial polarization converter, first a circular split-ring resonator (SRR) as a unit cell is designed. Secondly, the two capacitive gaps of the top layer, are aligned at 180 degrees with respect to each other and at 45 degrees with respect to X-axis and Y-axis. Lastly, step-by-step tuning the one or more key design parameters of the SRR, is performed until an optimum frequency response is obtained, to obtain the optimal dual-band metamaterial polarization converter.

Abstract

Quality of weld images in with bad lighting condition and specific image color formats add constraints to existing automated weld inspection systems. Embodiments herein provide a method and system based on Domain Knowledge Infused Adaptive-Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (DKI-ANFIS) for weld quality inspection. The DKI-ANFIS inspects the quality of weld joint using domain driven quality inspection techniques. A segmentation algorithm is used to extract the weld joint in form of fractals followed by an unsupervised technique to extract useful geometrical features from the fractals. These geometrical features are used for quality index generation. A weld inspection model comprising the DKI-ANFIS is used for determining the quality of the weld joint. DKI-ANFIS modifies layers of ANFIS by infusing layer of domain knowledge to give better results even if there is a class imbalance in the data or the data is skewed or there is only a short corpus of data available.

Abstract

Optical images in remote sensing are contaminated by cloud cover and bad weather conditions and are only available during the daytime. Whereas SAR images are completely cloud free, independent of weather conditions and can be acquired both during the day and at night. However, due to the speckle effect and side looking imaging mechanism of SAR images, they are not easily interpretable by untrained people. To address this issue, the present disclosure provides a method and system for LULC guided SAR visualization, wherein a GAN is trained to translate SAR images to optical images for visualization. A given SAR image is fed into a first generator of the GAN to obtain LULC map which is then concatenated with the SAR image and fed into a second generator of the GAN to generate an optical image. The LULC map provides semantic information required for generation of more realistic optical image.

Abstract

This disclosure relates to time sensitive processing of TCP segments into application layer messages in FPGA. Certain applications such as “stock market” or “ticket booking system” require a time sensitive ordering of the transaction, as the timing of arrival of transaction (packet) will impact the result, wherein the time sensitive ordering occurs when a first packet reaching the application network is processed first or the processing of packets by the server is guaranteed in the order of packets received. However, the existing systems do not honor the time due to the layered network stack. The disclosure is a design and implementation of a middleware framework on FPGA platform which delivers messages to the application in the order in which they arrive. The disclosure enables time sensitive analysis of each message of the TCP segment based on the session-based information to re-assemble the plurality of messages in a time-sensitive queue.

Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to in-silico modeling of hemodynamic patterns of physiologic blood flow. Conventional cardiovascular hemodynamic models depend on neuromodulation schemes (baroreflex autoregulation) and threshold parameters of neuromodulation correlate with physical activities. Thus these models may not work practically for a large set of people due to dependency on prior knowledge of these parameters. The present disclosure enables estimating blood pressure of a subject by estimating cardiac parameters based on the morphology of ECG signal associated with the subject and hence activation delays in cardiac chambers of the in-silico model is reproduced purposefully. In accordance with the present disclosure, the blood pressure of the subject can be estimated using only the ECG signal even if the signal is missed for some time instance(s) or is noisy.
