Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional direct Gaussian fitting method is used to extract atomic cloud information, then the process is simple, but the accuracy of identifying atomic cloud region is insufficient and generalization capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the conventional mechanical Gaussian fitting method with a deep learning-based YOLOv5s network model. This substitution enables the system to automatically learn and identify atomic cloud regions from absorption images, achieving superior accuracy (97.3% mean average precision) and generalization capability while maintaining computational efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the image processing approach by changing from fixed-parameter Gaussian fitting to a data-driven deep learning model trained on diverse absorption images. The YOLOv5s network learns optimal parameters automatically from training data, enabling accurate identification across varying experimental conditions and atomic cloud configurations.
2Productivity
If multi-peak Gaussian fitting is used to identify multiple atomic clouds, then information of multiple clouds can be extracted, but the accuracy largely depends on selection of initial parameters, atomic cloud distribution and background noise, and the process is time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the iterative multi-peak Gaussian fitting process with a direct deep learning-based detection approach. The YOLOv5s network simultaneously identifies multiple atomic clouds in a single pass, eliminating the need for iterative parameter optimization and initial parameter selection, thus achieving both high speed and high accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary training of the YOLOv5s network on a diverse dataset of absorption images containing various numbers and configurations of atomic clouds. This preliminary action enables the model to automatically adapt to different experimental scenarios, eliminating the need for manual parameter adjustment during actual measurements.
