Solution Overview

Problem

Current image classification methods face inaccuracies due to mismatches between extracted text information and classification tasks, lacking universality and accuracy, as they fail to consider image differences and classification label quantities.

Innovation Solution

Dynamically select a text information category based on image differences and classification label quantities, extracting text information of varying dimensions to enhance compatibility with classification tasks, using a comprehensive feature extraction model and text encoding features.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If uniformly extracted text information is used for image classification, then the processing method is simple, but the classification accuracy deteriorates due to mismatch between text information and classification task

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of processing methodVSAvoidclassification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by dynamically selecting different text information categories (first category, second category, or third category) based on image differences and classification label quantities. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to adjust the text extraction strategy to match the specific classification task requirements, thereby improving classification accuracy while maintaining reasonable processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes parameters by varying the text information category selected based on two key parameters: image differences (similarity/dissimilarity among images) and classification label quantities. By changing the text extraction parameters according to these inputs, the system optimizes the matching between text information and classification tasks, resolving the accuracy-simplicity contradiction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If different text information categories are dynamically selected based on image differences and classification label quantities, then the classification accuracy improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidcomplexity of processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the text information extraction process into three distinct categories (first category for basic text, second category for enhanced text, third category for task-specific text). This segmentation allows the system to select only the necessary category for each classification task, improving accuracy while managing complexity through modular, conditional execution rather than always using the most complex extraction method.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (the text information category selection module) that mediates between the image classification task requirements and the text extraction process. This intermediary dynamically determines which text category to use based on image differences and label quantities, thereby improving classification accuracy while abstracting away the complexity from the overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If text information extraction is adapted to different classification tasks, then the universality of the method improves, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuniversality of classification methodVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining three text information categories with different levels of detail and processing requirements. The system performs a quick assessment of image differences and classification label quantities to determine which pre-defined category to use, avoiding the need to create custom extraction methods for each task. This improves universality while controlling processing time through预先 prepared extraction strategies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
