Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If only switching processing for an input image per time is performed, then the processing is simple to implement, but it is impossible to efficiently utilize the image capturing device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic processing mode selection that adapts to real-time conditions. The determination means dynamically switches between different processing modes (first processing mode for crowded scenes, second processing mode for non-crowded scenes) based on detected image content, thereby optimizing image capturing device utilization efficiency according to actual surveillance needs rather than using a fixed processing approach
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes processing parameters based on scene conditions. By detecting whether a crowd is present in the captured image and changing the processing mode accordingly (e.g., adjusting detection algorithms, processing depth, or resource allocation), the system efficiently utilizes the image capturing device across varying operational conditions
2Productivity
If adaptive processing modes are implemented based on image content, then the utilization efficiency of image capturing device is improved, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the processing system into distinct functional modules: a detection means for analyzing image content, a determination means for selecting processing modes, and an execution means for performing the selected processing. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function efficiently, managing overall system complexity through modular design while enabling adaptive processing
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback mechanisms where the detection means continuously monitors captured images for crowd presence, and based on this feedback, the determination means adjusts the processing mode. This closed-loop feedback control enables efficient adaptive processing while keeping the determination logic relatively simple and manageable
