Solution Overview

Problem

Current image sequence detection methods rely solely on current data features, neglecting historical data features, which results in low accuracy of classification algorithms.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If only current data feature is used for classification, then the classification process is simple, but the image sequence detection accuracy is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage sequence detection accuracyVSAvoidclassification algorithm complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training a target detection model using historical data features before actual detection. The model is trained offline with sample training data that includes historical features from continuous frames, so that during runtime, the model can directly utilize these pre-processed historical features without adding real-time computational complexity. This resolves the contradiction by preparing the classification system in advance to handle both current and historical features accurately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces historical data features as an additional dimension to the classification process. Instead of only using current frame features, the system incorporates features from previous frames (i-1)th frame alongside the current (i)th frame, creating a multi-dimensional feature space. This dimensional expansion enables more accurate detection by considering temporal context without fundamentally complicating the classification architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If historical data feature is incorporated into classification, then detection accuracy improves, but computational load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidcomputational energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent reduces real-time computational energy consumption by performing feature extraction and model training in advance. Historical data features are extracted and stored during the pre-training phase, and the target detection model learns to process these features offline. During actual image sequence detection, the system only needs to retrieve pre-extracted historical features and perform forward propagation through the trained model, significantly reducing real-time computational energy requirements while maintaining high classification accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If only current frame is used for detection, then processing speed is fast, but detection accuracy is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses copying by storing and reusing historical data features from previous frames as reference information. Instead of reprocessing all historical data, the system copies relevant feature representations from the (i-1)th frame and combines them with the current (i)th frame features. This approach enables the model to leverage temporal context for improved accuracy while maintaining fast processing speed, as the copied features are pre-extracted and ready for immediate use in classification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
