Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If complex preprocessing steps are used to build a 3D model, then the 3D model accuracy is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs unsupervised pre-training of the 3D model before actual detection tasks. This preliminary action prepares the model in advance with general 3D representation capabilities, so that during runtime, simple query-based detection can be performed without complex preprocessing steps, thus resolving the contradiction between model accuracy and system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and separates the complex preprocessing requirements from the runtime detection process. By using unsupervised pre-training to extract general 3D understanding capabilities beforehand, the runtime system only needs to perform simple query-based detection, effectively removing the complexity burden from the operational phase while maintaining high accuracy
2Adaptability or versatility
If query-based detection is extended to 3D representations, then the detection capability is improved, but the computational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional complex 3D object detection mechanisms with a query-based attention mechanism. Instead of using heavy mechanical or algorithmic systems for 3D detection, the system uses neural network queries that can efficiently query the pre-trained 3D model, significantly reducing computational complexity while maintaining enhanced detection capability across 2D and 3D representations
Solution Approach 2:
The query-based detection mechanism is designed to be universal, working for both 2D image detection and 3D model detection with the same underlying architecture. This multi-functionality allows the system to handle different detection tasks without requiring separate complex systems, thereby improving detection capability while controlling computational complexity through a unified approach
