Abstract

An apparatus and method for training a machine learning model to augment signal data and image data. The apparatus includes at least a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the at least a processor. The memory instructs the processor to receive a signal data. The memory instructs the processor to generate a digital image, wherein the digital image comprises the signal data. The memory instructs the processor to transmit the digital image to an image processing module, wherein the image processing module produces an augmented image. The memory instructs the processor to transmit the signal data to a signal processing module, wherein the signal processing module produces the augmented image. The memory instructs the processor to train a machine learning model using the augmented image.

Claims (52)

1 . An apparatus for training a machine learning model to augment signal data and image data, the apparatus comprising:

at least a processor; and

a memory communicatively connected to the at least a processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the at least a processor to:
