Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If only switching processing for an input image per time is performed, then the processing can be simplified, but it is impossible to perform processing for an input image efficiently and appropriately
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic processing mode selection based on real-time detection of image content characteristics. The system automatically switches between different processing modes (e.g., face authentication, crowd detection, full-image processing) according to the detected scene conditions, making the processing system adaptive and efficient rather than using fixed or simple time-based switching.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes processing parameters dynamically by selecting different processing modes based on detected image characteristics. The determination unit adjusts processing parameters such as detection algorithms, processing depth, and analysis focus according to the detected content type, enabling efficient resource allocation and appropriate processing for each scene.
2Reliability
If comprehensive processing is performed on all captured images, then processing completeness is improved, but it becomes impossible to efficiently utilize an image capturing device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different processing levels and types to different regions or portions of the captured image based on detected content characteristics. For example, when faces are detected, face authentication processing is applied specifically to those regions; when crowds are detected, crowd analysis is performed on those areas. This selective local processing ensures completeness where needed while maintaining efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs processing only to the extent necessary based on detected scene characteristics. Rather than always performing comprehensive processing on entire images, the determination unit selects appropriate processing modes that apply only the necessary level of analysis for the detected content, avoiding unnecessary processing while maintaining reliability for relevant detections.
