Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for video recognition, such as directly applying 2D CNNs to video frames or 3D CNNs to video segments, face challenges in effectively capturing spatio-temporal representations, leading to suboptimal recognition accuracy.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus utilizing a pre-trained local and global diffusion (LGD) model that learns spatio-temporal representations by diffusing between local and global representations, incorporating cascaded LGD modules, a local and global combination classifier, and a fully connected layer to improve video recognition accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If 2D CNN is directly applied to video frames, then the implementation is simple, but the spatio-temporal representation capability is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidspatio-temporal representation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines 2D CNN spatial feature extraction with temporal modeling components (such as RNN, LSTM, or temporal convolutional layers) to create a hybrid architecture that captures both spatial and temporal dependencies in video data, resolving the contradiction between implementation simplicity and spatio-temporal representation capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extends the 2D CNN architecture by adding a temporal dimension, transforming it into a 3D CNN or by stacking multiple 2D CNNs with temporal pooling/convolution operations, thereby enhancing spatio-temporal representation while building upon the simple 2D CNN foundation

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

2Measurement precision

If 3D CNN is applied to video segments, then the spatio-temporal representation is improved, but the computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespatio-temporal representation capabilityVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides video data into smaller segments or clips and processes them independently through the 3D CNN architecture, reducing the computational burden on any single processing unit while maintaining comprehensive spatio-temporal analysis across the entire video sequence

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies 3D CNN selectively to key video segments or regions of interest rather than processing the entire video uniformly, reducing overall computational complexity while maintaining high spatio-temporal representation capability where most needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
