Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image recognition systems struggle with recognizing objects in images and require time-consuming database construction for each recognition task, often failing to account for relationships among objects.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If image recognition is performed using traditional methods, then object recognition can be achieved, but recognition accuracy is insufficient and objects are not recognized in some cases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an object disposition property database as an intermediary between image recognition and object identification. This database stores pre-learned positional relationships among objects, serving as a mediator that supplements incomplete recognition results by predicting missing objects based on their spatial relationships with detected objects.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary learning of object disposition properties before actual recognition tasks. The object disposition property database is pre-populated with positional relationship data from multiple images, enabling the system to predict and supplement missing objects during recognition without requiring real-time complex processing.
2Measurement precision
If a database is constructed from the beginning for each recognition task, then task-specific recognition can be achieved, but time and effort are excessively consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The object disposition property database serves multiple recognition tasks simultaneously. Instead of constructing separate databases for each task, the system learns general object positional relationships that can be applied across different recognition scenarios, significantly reducing time and effort requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs database construction and learning in advance, storing object disposition properties in a reusable format. This preliminary action eliminates the need for time-consuming database construction during each recognition task, as the pre-learned properties can be directly applied to various tasks.
3Productivity
If traditional image recognition is used, then processing can be completed, but relationships among objects are not accounted for
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an object relationship information acquisition unit and object disposition property database as intermediaries that capture and store spatial relationships among objects. These intermediaries preserve relationship information that would otherwise be lost in traditional recognition systems, enabling prediction of missing objects based on their relationships with detected objects.

AI summary
In order to improve processing related to image recognition, information processing apparatus comprises an object property group information input unit configured to input object property group information that includes at least two or more pieces of object property information, the object property information including type information that represents names of types of objects and information regarding three-dimensional positions of the objects in a space; an object disposition property database that holds the type information that represents the names of the types of the objects and the information regarding the three-dimensional positions of the objects in the space in an associated manner; and a prediction unit configured to predict information related to the information included in the object property group information on the basis of the object property group information input by the object property group information input unit and the object disposition property database.
