摘要

Traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) may significantly change the ionospheric properties in the region, which in turn affects the radio propagation process, especially on short-wave communication, satellite navigation and positioning. TIDs detection and propagation parameter calculation are essential foundations for ionospheric disturbance monitoring and early warning. Comparisons between Cascade Mask R-CNN and the classical Mask R-CNN models in instance segmentation results were conducted using global LSTIDs and European MSTIDs data. The results indicate that Cascade Mask R-CNN outperforms Mask R-CNN in image processing accuracy and training convergence speed, with an improvement of approximately 4.7% in bounding box precision and about 3.6% in mask accuracy. The model achieved mask accuracies of 79.34% and 73.37% in the European region and globally, respectively. Subsequently, irregular disturbances were normalized using a least squares ellipse fitting method, and isolated disturbances were filtered and eliminated using filtering criteria and a nonlinear programming solver. When the filtering threshold T1 was set to 40, isolated disturbances could be effectively filtered out while retaining wave disturbance components. The method yielded TIDs propagation parameters in DTEC maps in different regions that closely matched actual results.
