Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If all recognition targets are used for learning, then recognition coverage is improved, but learning time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition coverageVSAvoidlearning time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the false recognition targets from the set of all recognition targets to create the training data. By identifying targets that are likely to be misrecognized and using only those for training, the system achieves efficient learning without needing to train on all possible targets, thus reducing learning time while maintaining recognition coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different treatment to different recognition targets based on their local characteristics. Instead of uniform training on all targets, it identifies specific targets with high false recognition probability and applies targeted training only to those, optimizing the learning process by focusing resources where they are most needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If comprehensive learning is performed on all recognition targets, then false recognition rate is reduced, but learning efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefalse recognition rateVSAvoidlearning efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts false recognition targets by analyzing recognition results and identifying which targets are most likely to be misrecognized. By using only these extracted targets for training, the system achieves effective reduction of false recognition rates without the computational overhead of training on all targets, thus maintaining reliability while improving learning efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of performing complete learning on all recognition targets, the patent applies partial learning only to the subset of false recognition targets. This partial action is sufficient to address the false recognition problem effectively, achieving the desired reliability improvement with significantly higher learning efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A learning apparatus includes: an extraction unit that extracts a first false recognition target which is a recognition target in regard to which a probability that a first recognition device falsely recognizes it as a first recognition target from among a plurality of types of recognition targets is equal to or greater than a predetermined percentage; a training data generation unit that generates first training data that includes an image including both the first recognition target and the first false recognition target; and a learning control unit that makes, by using the first training data, a first recognition device learn that the first false recognition target is a recognition target of a type different from that of the first recognition target.
