VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual labeling is used to identify objects in images, then accuracy can be maintained, but productivity is reduced and time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject identification accuracyVSAvoidobject labeling speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by allowing the model to automatically generate object labels without human intervention. The extraction module processes images and generates labels autonomously, eliminating the need for manual labeling while maintaining consistent accuracy across all processed images.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual labeling process with an automated computer vision system. The extraction module uses image processing algorithms to automatically identify and label objects, substituting human manual operations with automated computational processes that achieve both high speed and consistent accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Productivity

If automated object identification systems are implemented, then productivity increases, but measurement precision and reliability may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject labeling speedVSAvoidobject identification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the extraction module continuously refines its object identification based on processed images and generated labels. This feedback loop allows the automated system to learn from its outputs and improve accuracy over time, ensuring that high productivity does not compromise measurement precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If automated object identification systems are implemented, then productivity increases, but device complexity and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject labeling speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The extraction module is designed as a universal system that can handle multiple image processing tasks and identify various types of objects across different image types. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate systems, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining high productivity across diverse applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
