Solution Overview

Problem

Existing behavior recognition algorithms using depth videos fail to fully utilize three-dimensional information and feature relationships across dimensions, leading to inaccuracies due to bone joint detection issues and occlusions.

Innovation Solution

A depth video linkage feature-based behavior recognition method that projects depth videos onto multiple sides, extracts dynamic images, and uses a multi-projection linkage feature extraction module to connect features across different projections, feeding them into an average pooling and fully connected layer for behavior recognition.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If bone joint-based behavior recognition is used, then behavior recognition can be performed, but accuracy deteriorates due to bone joint detection errors and occlusions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebehavior recognition reliabilityVSAvoidbone joint detection precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts three-dimensional spatial information from depth videos by projecting onto multiple planes (front, back, left, right, top, bottom), then uses this extracted spatial data to construct dynamic images that capture motion patterns without relying on bone joint detection, thereby eliminating the measurement precision problem

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary representation (dynamic image constructed from multi-plane projections) that mediates between the raw depth video data and the final behavior recognition, allowing the system to infer behavior from spatial motion patterns rather than directly from potentially erroneous bone joint detections

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If depth video is directly input into network, then processing is simplified, but three-dimensional information and feature relationships across dimensions are not fully utilized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing complexityVSAvoidthree-dimensional information loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the three-dimensional depth video data into multiple two-dimensional projections (front, back, left, right, top, bottom views), processes each projection independently through dynamic image construction, then integrates the results. This segmentation allows thorough extraction of spatial information while maintaining manageable processing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the three-dimensional depth video into multiple two-dimensional projections, then reconstructs dynamic images that capture temporal-spatial relationships. This dimensional transformation enables the network to process and utilize three-dimensional information more effectively by representing it through coordinated two-dimensional views across time

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