satnogs-wut

The goal of satnogs-wut is to have a script that will take an observation ID and return an answer whether the observation is "good", "bad", or "failed".

Good Observation

Good Observation

Bad Observation

Bad Observation

Failed Observation

Failed Observation

Machine Learning

The system at present is build upon the following:

  • Debian
  • Tensorflow
  • Keras

Learning/Testing, results are inaccurate.

wut?

The following scripts are in the repo:

  • wut --- Feed it an observation ID and it returns if it is a "good", "bad", or "failed" observation.
  • wut-api-test --- API Tests.
  • wut-get-obs --- Download the JSON for an observation ID.
  • wut-get-staging --- Download waterfalls to staging for review (deprecated).
  • wut-get-train-bad --- Download waterfalls to data/train/bad for review (deprecated).
  • wut-get-train-good --- Download waterfalls to data/train/good for review (deprecated).
  • wut-get-validation-bad --- Download waterfalls to data/validation/bad for review (deprecated).
  • wut-get-validation-good --- Download waterfalls to data/validation/good for review (deprecated).
  • wut-get-waterfall --- Download waterfall for an observation ID to download/[ID].
  • wut-get-waterfall-range --- Download waterfalls for a range of observation IDs to download/[ID].
  • wut-ml --- Main machine learning Python script using Tensorflow and Keras.
  • wut-review-staging --- Review all images in data/staging.

Usage

The main purpose of the script is to evaluate an observation, but to do that, it needs to build a corpus of observations to learn from. So many of the scripts in this repo are just for downloading and managing observations.

The following steps need to be performed:

  1. Download waterfalls and JSON descriptions with wut-get-waterfall-range. These get put in the downloads/[ID]/ directories.

  2. Organize downloaded waterfalls into categories (e.g. "good", "bad", "failed"). Note: this needs a script written. Put them into their respective directories under:

  • data/train/good/
  • data/train/bad/
  • data/train/failed/
  • data/validation/good/
  • data/validataion/bad/
  • data/validataion/failed/
  1. Use machine learning script wut-ml to build a model based on the files in the data/train and data/validation directories.

  2. Rate an observation using the wut script.

Caveats

This is the first machine learning script I've done, I know little about satellites and less about radio, and I'm not a programmer.
