Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a fixed field of view (FoV) is used for object tracking, then the tracking system maintains consistent computational load, but cumulative error increases and tracking accuracy decreases over time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from a fixed FoV to a dynamic FoV that adapts based on target tracking state. The system adjusts the search region size in real-time according to target stability, allowing the tracking window to expand when targets are unstable or move rapidly, and contract when targets are stable. This dynamic adjustment prevents error accumulation by maintaining appropriate search regions throughout the tracking process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the FoV size parameter based on target tracking state. The system changes the search region dimensions dynamically, expanding the FoV when prediction confidence is low or target movement is significant, and reducing the FoV when tracking is stable. This parameter adaptation resolves the contradiction by maintaining measurement precision while preventing error accumulation through state-dependent adjustments.
2Reliability
If a fixed field of view (FoV) is used for object tracking, then the system structure remains simple, but computational resources are wasted and tracking robustness is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial or excessive action by adjusting the FoV size according to actual tracking needs. When targets are stable, the system uses a smaller search region (partial action), reducing computational power consumption. When targets become unstable or move rapidly, the system expands the search region (excessive action) to maintain tracking robustness. This adaptive approach ensures computational resources are allocated efficiently while maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring target tracking state and using this information to adjust the FoV dynamically. The system evaluates prediction confidence and target stability metrics, then feeds this information back to modify the search region size. This closed-loop control improves tracking robustness by responding to actual tracking conditions while optimizing computational resource usage through state-dependent adjustments.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed field of view (FoV) is used for object tracking, then the search region remains constant, but tracking adaptability to different target states is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the search region adaptive rather than static. The system dynamically adjusts the FoV based on real-time target tracking state, including prediction confidence and target stability measurements. This dynamic behavior enables the tracking system to adapt to different target states (stable, unstable, moving rapidly) while maintaining manageable complexity through rule-based adjustment logic.

AI summary
A method with object tracking includes: determining a first target tracking state by tracking a target from a first image frame with a first field of view (FoV); determining a second FoV based on the first FoV and the first target tracking state; and generating a second target tracking result by tracking a target from a second image frame with the second FoV.
