Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual labeling of training samples is used, then training data can be obtained, but the process is time consuming and error prone
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-labeling by automatically generating training samples with ground truth annotations through clustering analysis of detection results across multiple images, eliminating the need for manual human labeling while maintaining high accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary detection and clustering analysis on multiple images to pre-generate labeled training samples before actual model training, so that when training is needed, ready-to-use high-quality samples are already available
2Reliability
If manual labeling is used to generate training samples, then positive and negative samples can be obtained, but errors in labeling lead to false positives and false negatives
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the mechanical human labeling process with automated computational methods including clustering analysis and probability calculations, substituting human judgment with algorithmic decision-making that is more consistent and scalable
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces clustering analysis as an intermediary process between raw detection results and final training samples, using spatial-temporal clustering to objectively determine ground truth and eliminate subjective labeling errors
3Measurement precision
If conventional training methods are used, then object detection can be performed, but false positive and false negative detections reduce accuracy
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameters of training samples by generating diverse positive samples from multiple images of the same object at different positions, scales, and orientations, and by carefully selecting negative samples that are spatially separated from true objects, optimizing the distribution and quality of training data
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from detection results across multiple images to iteratively improve training sample quality, where detection outcomes inform the selection and refinement of training samples, creating a closed-loop system that continuously enhances accuracy
