Solution Overview

Problem

Existing model learning methods are limited in achieving high accuracy inference due to the likelihood of missing hidden feature points, and they are often specialized for specific causes of accuracy deterioration, making them ineffective when the cause is unclear.

Innovation Solution

A learning device and method that generates probabilistic inference results, formats them for correction, and trains a correction learning model using input data, correct answer data, and formatted inference results to improve inference accuracy without relying on the specific cause of deterioration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a specialized method is used to extract feature points and compensate for missing feature points, then accuracy is improved for specific cases, but the method cannot handle various causes of accuracy deterioration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinference accuracyVSAvoidapplicability to various deterioration causes
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal correction learning model that can handle various causes of accuracy deterioration (occlusion, blur, low resolution, etc.) through a single unified approach. The model takes as input the original image, deteriorated image, and deterioration type, and outputs corrected feature points regardless of the specific deterioration cause, making the system adaptable to multiple scenarios rather than requiring specialized methods for each case

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of the learning model by introducing a correction learning model with specific loss functions that account for different deterioration types. The model uses parameter adjustments in the loss function (e.g., weighting different error terms based on deterioration type) to adapt to various accuracy deterioration causes while maintaining a single unified model structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If a correction learning model is trained to correct formatted inference results, then inference accuracy is improved, but training complexity and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinference accuracyVSAvoidtraining complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary formatting of the inference results before feeding them into the correction learning model. By pre-processing the probabilistic inference results into a standardized format and pre-selecting appropriate training data with known deterioration types, the system reduces the complexity of the actual training process and makes the training more efficient and manageable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
