Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional feature extraction-based algorithms (such as Haar cascade classifiers) are used for deepfake detection, then the detection process can be implemented, but the real-time performance and detection accuracy are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the fundamental parameters of the detection system by replacing traditional Haar cascade classifiers with a transformer-based FERtrans model that processes facial expressions. This parameter change enables the system to achieve both high detection accuracy and real-time performance by leveraging the superior feature extraction capabilities of transformer architecture and the semantic information from facial expressions
Solution Approach 2:
The patent substitutes the mechanical feature extraction approach (Haar cascades) with an intelligent system that uses transformer models and facial expression analysis. This substitution replaces manual feature design with automated learning-based feature extraction, significantly improving both accuracy and real-time performance
2Reliability
If traditional detection methods are used, then the detection process can be completed, but the detection accuracy is affected by facial posture, angle, occlusion, and lighting
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the detection system universal by training the FERtrans model on diverse facial expression data that encompasses various postures, angles, occlusions, and lighting conditions. The model learns to recognize facial expressions across these different conditions, enabling accurate detection regardless of the specific imaging conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-training the transformer model on a comprehensive dataset of facial expressions before actual detection. This pre-training enables the model to generalize well to various imaging conditions, preparing it to handle different facial postures, angles, occlusions, and lighting conditions during deployment
3Reliability
If manual design of processing flow and annotation of large amounts of image data is performed, then the detection model can be trained, but the complexity and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by using the transformer model's own pre-trained parameters and internal mechanisms to perform feature extraction and classification. The model leverages its pre-learned knowledge from the training phase to automatically handle detection tasks without requiring complex manual processing flows or extensive annotated data for each specific application
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the approach from manual feature design to automated learning by using transformer-based models that automatically extract features from facial images. This parameter change eliminates the need for manual processing flow design and reduces the requirement for large amounts of annotated data, significantly simplifying the overall system complexity
