Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If separate feature extraction networks are used for each perception task, then each task can be optimized independently, but the computational requirements and resource consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperception task accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple task-specific feature extraction networks into a single shared feature extraction network. This shared network extracts features that are common across multiple perception tasks (target detection, attribute recognition, search feature extraction), reducing redundant computations. The merged architecture processes images once and distributes the extracted features to multiple task-specific processing paths, significantly lowering computational resource consumption while maintaining task accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The shared feature extraction network is designed to serve multiple perception tasks simultaneously. Instead of having dedicated networks for each task, this universal network extracts general-purpose features that can be utilized by different downstream tasks. The network structure includes multiple output paths that can accommodate different perception tasks, making it multi-functional and adaptable to various analysis requirements.

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

2Reliability

If multiple separate perception networks are deployed for different tasks, then each task receives dedicated processing, but the device complexity and data operation amount increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask execution reliabilityVSAvoidmodel structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the perception system into a shared feature extraction component and multiple task-specific processing components. The feature extraction network is segmented from the task execution networks, allowing features to be extracted once and then distributed to multiple tasks. This segmentation reduces overall system complexity by eliminating redundant feature extraction operations while maintaining dedicated processing paths for each task through the shared features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The shared feature extraction network acts as an intermediary between the input images and the multiple task-specific processing networks. Instead of each task network directly processing raw images, they all receive pre-processed features from the intermediary feature extraction network. This intermediary structure simplifies the overall system by centralizing the complex feature extraction operations while allowing simpler task-specific networks to focus on their respective tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If independent feature extraction is performed for each perception task, then task-specific features are optimized, but the data operation amount and computation time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature extraction accuracyVSAvoidcomputation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs feature extraction as a preliminary action before task-specific processing. The shared feature extraction network extracts general features from images in advance, and these pre-extracted features are then fed to multiple task-specific processing paths. This preliminary feature extraction eliminates the need for each task to independently extract features from raw images, significantly improving computation efficiency while maintaining the ability to extract task-relevant features through the shared representation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
