Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional bug identification systems are used, then the system is simple to operate, but the identification accuracy deteriorates when bugs are in bent postures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bug image is segmented into multiple key points (at least three points) that represent critical morphological features. This segmentation allows the system to capture essential shape information without processing the entire complex image, thereby improving identification accuracy while managing data complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention transitions from analyzing two-dimensional image pixels to extracting and analyzing point coordinate data with sequence information. By converting image data into a different dimensional representation (x, y coordinates with sequence ordering), the system achieves better posture invariance and identification accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If morphological characteristics are extracted from bent bugs, then identification can be performed, but the extraction accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharacteristic extraction accuracyVSAvoididentification reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary extraction of key point coordinates and sequence information before the actual identification process. By pre-processing the bug image to extract essential geometric features (at least three points with sequencing), the system prepares robust data that maintains reliability even when bugs are in bent or overlapping postures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the parameters used for identification from pixel-based morphological characteristics to coordinate-based point information with sequence data. This parameter transformation makes the identification system more robust to posture variations, as point coordinates and their sequences remain reliable even when bugs are bent or overlapping.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If more bug features are analyzed, then identification accuracy improves, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential features needed for identification - specifically at least three key points with their coordinates and sequence information - from the bug image. This selective extraction approach captures sufficient morphological information for accurate identification while avoiding the computational overhead of analyzing all image pixels or excessive features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
