Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional methods are used to monitor insects in farmland, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but the measurement precision and reliability of insect trend analysis is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple monitoring functions (image capture, insect identification, abundance counting, trend analysis) into an integrated system that uses a single surveillance camera and AI processing platform, thereby improving measurement precision without proportionally increasing device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual insect counting and analysis with AI-based image recognition and automated data processing, significantly improving measurement precision while the automated nature actually reduces operational complexity
2Productivity
If manual monitoring of insects is performed, then the system is simple, but the productivity and speed of obtaining analysis results is low
Solution Approach 1:
The surveillance camera continuously captures images of insects in the farmland, and the AI system continuously processes these images to generate real-time analysis results, eliminating idle time and maintaining continuous productive action throughout the monitoring period
Solution Approach 2:
Manual monitoring is replaced with automated AI-based image recognition and data processing, which operates continuously without fatigue or breaks, dramatically increasing productivity and reducing analysis time
3Reliability
If comprehensive data collection on insects is implemented, then the reliability of prediction is improved, but the quantity of data to be processed increases
Solution Approach 1:
The AI system extracts only the relevant features from the captured images (insect identification, counting, location) and discards redundant information, thereby maintaining high prediction reliability while managing data volume efficiently
Solution Approach 2:
The data processing is segmented into distinct stages (image capture, insect identification, abundance counting, trend analysis, prediction) with each stage processing only the necessary data for its specific function, reducing overall data handling requirements while maintaining comprehensive analysis
