Artificial Neural Network Assisted Modelling of Tangent Galvanometer Measurements for the Determination of Horizontal Component of Earth's Magnetic Field

Accurate reconstruction of magnetic fields in inaccessible regions is vital for many high-precision experiments in physics. Traditional methods, such as spherical harmonic expansion, often suffer from truncation errors that limit their precision. This study proposes an advanced Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) framework for high-precision 3D magnetic field mapping. Unlike conventional data-driven models, the proposed PINN integrates Maxwell's equations directly into the loss function, enforcing divergence-free and curl-free conditions across the entire domain. A key innovation is the inclusion of explicit physics-residual losses at measurement locations, ensuring rigorous physical consistency beyond random collocation sampling. Validation using simulated data achieves a reconstruction accuracy of $10^{-4}$, a tenfold improvement over existing PINN benchmarks. Furthermore, experimental validation using a custom coil assembly demonstrates robust reconstruction with sub-percent relative accuracy, reaching the $10^{-3}$ level under ambient conditions. This AI-driven methodology provides a robust, high-precision solution for field monitoring and measurement in complex experimental environments where direct sensor placement is restricted.

This paper presents a physics-constrained neural network framework for magnetic modeling of saturable synchronous machines, including spatial harmonics. By embedding gradient networks into the machine equations to model conservative electromagnetic behavior, the framework satisfies reciprocity and energy conservation by construction, while universally approximating any physically feasible magnetic characteristic. Unlike lookup tables and black-box neural networks, it guarantees monotonicity, invertibility, and smooth outputs, and remains highly data efficient. The method is validated using measured and finite-element method (FEM) data from a 5.6-kW permanent-magnet (PM) synchronous reluctance machine, and is demonstrated in real-time closed-loop control on an embedded platform. The results confirm accurate, physically consistent, and computationally efficient performance.

Near a smooth data manifold, one tangent space summarizes local geometry. At a branch point, the corresponding first-order object is instead a measure over tangent directions, whose normalized masses record the local share of each branch under the chosen data measure. We ask whether a score field at one noise level determines this weighted tangent geometry when the branch center and homogeneity degree $d$ are unknown. In this tangent-measure model, $d$ is the local measure dimension. Gaussian smoothing of a homogeneous tangent measure satisfies an Ornstein--Uhlenbeck eigenfunction equation. Its weak form turns score values---without score derivatives---into a linear system for the center and homogeneity degree, with an explicit rank condition and perturbation bound. After this calibration, the tangential score on one sphere is the spherical log-gradient of a scalar Gaussian--cone transform. Integration recovers that transform up to scale, and all its spherical-harmonic multipliers are positive. Thus one exact shell identifies the normalized angular measure in every ambient dimension $D\geq2$. For at most $K$ positive rays, moments through degree $2K-1$ constructively recover count, directions, and weights in arbitrary dimension. Any fixed observation scheme needs at least $KD-1$ scalar tangential components. In the plane, degree $K$ is both sufficient and necessary, and we give quantitative finite-query certificates. For finite planar $C^{1,β}$ branches with positive $C^{0,β}$ densities, we prove $O(σ^β)$ convergence from the finite-noise score to its tangent model. In controlled experiments, 50k-step training lowers validation normalized-score error across four geometries yet raises angular-moment error, separating ordinary score fit from geometry recovery.
