1Quantity of substance

If multi-layer autoencoder architectures are used for data compression, then compression ratios are improved, but data restoration quality deteriorates due to failure to exploit correlations and patterns within the data

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the autoencoder architecture into multiple specialized components: hierarchical autoencoders for feature extraction, Lorentzian autoencoders for spatiotemporal relationship preservation, and correlation networks for pattern exploitation. This segmentation allows each component to optimize for specific aspects of compression and restoration, resolving the contradiction between compression ratio and restoration quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs a composite neural network architecture that combines different types of autoencoders and correlation networks. The hierarchical autoencoders capture multi-scale features, Lorentzian autoencoders preserve spatiotemporal structures, and correlation networks exploit data patterns. This composite approach enables simultaneous achievement of high compression ratios and high restoration quality by leveraging the complementary strengths of each component.

If correlation-based methods are added to exploit data patterns, then data restoration quality is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges the correlation-based restoration functionality directly into the autoencoder training framework. The correlation networks are integrated as additional layers or modules within the overall autoencoder architecture, allowing joint optimization of compression and restoration objectives. This merging reduces operational complexity by unifying multiple functions into a single trained system, despite the increased architectural complexity during design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The correlation networks are trained in an unsupervised manner to automatically learn and exploit correlations and patterns within the compressed data itself. The system uses the compressed representations from the autoencoder as input to the correlation networks, which then self-organize to restore data quality without requiring additional labeled training data or manual intervention. This self-service approach mitigates the operational burden despite architectural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A system and method for compressing and restoring data using hierarchical autoencoders and Lorentzian autoencoders for video processing. For general data, the system employs hierarchical autoencoders operating at multiple scales. For video data, Lorentzian autoencoders preserve three-dimensional tensor structure where spatial and temporal relationships remain intact throughout compression and decompression. A correlation network, trained on cross-correlated data sets, enhances restoration by leveraging relationships between compressed representations, recovering information lost during compression. The Lorentzian approach enables advanced video features including temporal prediction and infinite zoom, where users can examine regions beyond original resolution with synthesized yet plausible details. This architecture achieves higher compression ratios while maintaining or improving data quality, particularly for video content where spatiotemporal coherence is critical, applicable to surveillance, medical imaging, entertainment, and remote sensing.
