Claim One:
1. An apparatus comprising: a heuristic model configured to generate estimated deformation data for a structure based on input strain data; and a trainer configured to identify training deformation data and training strain data for each training case in a plurality of training cases, train the heuristic model using the training deformation data and the training strain data identified for the each training case in the plurality of training cases such that the heuristic model generates the estimated deformation data for the structure based on the input strain data in which the estimated deformation data has a desired level of accuracy, and receive the training strain data for the each training case in the plurality of training cases from a sensor system associated with the structure in which the sensor system comprises a plurality of sensors positioned at a plurality of points on the structure in which the plurality of sensors is configured to generate a plurality of strain measurements for the plurality of points on the structure.
