Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional face liveness detection methods are used, then the detection process is simple, but the detection accuracy is low and spoofing faces cannot be reliably distinguished

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces depth information as a new dimension beyond traditional 2D image analysis. By capturing images from multiple sensors at different positions and extracting depth maps, the system transforms planar face images into three-dimensional representations, enabling more accurate distinction between live and spoofing faces through depth feature analysis

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent divides the detection system into multiple independent components: multiple image sensors for capturing images from different positions, a deep generative network for depth information extraction, and a liveness detection model for final classification. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall detection accuracy while maintaining modular system architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If multiple sensors and deep learning models are used to improve detection accuracy, then liveness detection precision increases, but computational resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-trains the deep generative network and liveness detection model using extensive sample data including various spoofing face materials and lighting conditions. This preliminary training enables the models to extract depth information and perform detection more efficiently during actual use, reducing real-time computational burden while maintaining high accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts only the essential depth information from the captured images using the pre-trained deep generative network, rather than processing entire high-resolution images. This extraction of key features reduces the data volume requiring further processing, thereby lowering computational resource consumption in the detection phase

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Adaptability or versatility

If training data from multiple lighting environments is used, then the liveness detection model becomes more robust to lighting variations, but the training process becomes more complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent collects and prepares training data from multiple lighting environments in advance, including various spoofing face materials and lighting conditions. The deep generative network and liveness detection model are pre-trained on this diverse dataset before deployment. This preliminary preparation ensures the models learn to handle lighting variations efficiently, reducing the need for extensive real-time adjustments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
