Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional image processing methods are used, then the basic image processing function is maintained, but the function enrichment and user experience enhancement are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction enrichmentVSAvoidmatching accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the image matching process into distinct stages: target object identification, calibration box determination, and information matching. By dividing the complex matching task into manageable segments with specific calibration steps, the system achieves both function enrichment through multiple matching dimensions and maintains reliability through structured verification at each stage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary calibration by determining calibration box information and reference lines before actual image matching occurs. This preliminary action establishes a standardized framework that enables subsequent matching operations to be both versatile in application and reliable in accuracy, as the calibration data serves as a pre-established reference system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If complex matching algorithms are implemented to improve matching accuracy, then the matching precision is improved, but the computational complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematching precisionVSAvoidalgorithm complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces calibration box information as an intermediary element that mediates between the target object and the standard image. This intermediary contains pre-determined reference lines and characteristic point information, which simplifies the matching process by providing intermediate reference data, thereby achieving high precision without requiring excessively complex algorithms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a copied reference framework through calibration boxes that replicate the essential geometric relationships of the standard image. By working with these simplified copies containing key reference information rather than the full complex images, the system achieves accurate matching with reduced computational complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Provided in the present disclosure are an image matching method and apparatus, and a device and a storage medium. The method comprises: first determining an image to be matched, and performing target object identification on said image; in response to it being determined that a target object is present in said image, determining, in said image, a box to be matched that includes the target object, and acquiring information to be matched that corresponds to said box; matching said information corresponding to said box with calibration box information corresponding to said image, so as to obtain a matching result of the calibration box information; and determining a matching result of said image on the basis of the matching result.
