Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If different characterizations are spliced directly to obtain fused features, then the feature fusion process is simple and fast, but information redundancy occurs and feature accuracy decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature fusion speedVSAvoidfeature accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an attention mechanism as an intermediary between feature extraction and fusion. The attention module computes attention weights that dynamically adjust the contribution of different characterizations during fusion, preventing simple direct splicing while maintaining computational efficiency. This intermediary layer filters redundant information and emphasizes important features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of feature fusion by introducing attention weights that dynamically adjust the importance of different characterizations. Instead of fixed equal-weight splicing, the system learns optimal weighting parameters through training, allowing flexible adjustment of feature contributions based on their relevance to the classification task.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If attention mechanism is introduced for feature fusion, then feature accuracy is improved, but model complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature accuracyVSAvoidmodel complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the feature fusion process into distinct modules: feature extraction, attention weight computation, and weighted fusion. This segmentation allows the attention mechanism to be added as a separate, manageable component rather than integrating it throughout the entire model, reducing overall complexity while maintaining accuracy benefits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If iterative model updating is performed for training, then feature fusion accuracy is improved, but training time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition precisionVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements continuous iterative training where the model is repeatedly updated with training samples to continuously improve feature fusion accuracy. The training process maintains momentum by using gradient descent optimization, allowing the model to converge efficiently rather than requiring complete retraining from scratch each time improvements are made.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

A method for feature fusion model training and sample retrieval includes: inputting training sample into an initial feature fusion model to obtain a training semantic feature and a training global feature, performing classification and recognition based on the training semantic feature to obtain an initial training category, splicing the training semantic feature and the training global feature to obtain a spliced training feature, performing autocorrelation feature calculation based on the spliced training feature to obtain an autocorrelation feature, performing self-attention weight calculation based on the autocorrelation feature to obtain a self-attention weight, and adjusting the spliced training feature through the self-attention weight to obtain a fused training feature; and updating the initial feature fusion model based on the training global feature, the training semantic feature, the fused training feature, the initial training category, and a training sample category label, and performing a loop iteration to obtain a target fusion model.
