VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional methods map images into feature vector space and detect faces based on distance to subspace, then object detection can be performed, but detection accuracy is degraded due to individual face differences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidreliability of detection
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the detection process into multiple independent projection stages using transformation matrix groups. Each group projects input data through different transformation paths (first projection to space vector, second projection to projection data, then inverse projection back). This segmentation allows the system to evaluate multiple modalities separately and select the most appropriate one, thereby avoiding the accuracy degradation caused by individual differences that affects conventional single-path methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter representation by using multiple transformation matrix groups with different projection pathways. Instead of relying on a single feature vector space mapping, the system transforms data through multiple parameter spaces and evaluates correlations between original and transformed representations. This parameter transformation approach enables the system to adapt to different modalities and overcome the limitations of conventional methods that are sensitive to individual differences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If multiple transformation matrix groups are used with inverse projection and correlation calculation, then detection accuracy is significantly enhanced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodality detection accuracyVSAvoidcomplexity of transformation matrix groups
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complex detection task is segmented into modular transformation matrix groups, where each group handles a specific modality. The system divides the overall transformation process into distinct stages (first projection, second projection, inverse projection) that can be independently computed and evaluated. This modular segmentation makes the complex system more manageable and allows for efficient implementation despite the multiple transformation paths.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by using multiple transformation matrix groups, but not all possible transformations need to be fully executed for every input. The system performs projections and inverse projections selectively based on the input data characteristics, and uses correlation calculation to identify the most relevant modality. This approach avoids the need to fully process all transformation paths, reducing the effective computational complexity while maintaining high detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the processing into multiple transformation matrix groups that can be efficiently computed using standardized projection operations. Each segment (projection to space vector, projection to projection data, inverse projection) uses optimized linear algebra operations that maintain computational efficiency. The segmentation allows parallel processing of different transformation paths and enables the system to quickly evaluate multiple modalities without sacrificing overall processing speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The transformation matrix groups are pre-computed and stored, allowing the system to perform rapid projections during actual detection. The preliminary preparation of transformation matrices enables the system to efficiently process input data through multiple pathways without the computational overhead of calculating transformations in real-time. This preliminary action maintains processing efficiency while enabling the use of multiple transformation paths for improved accuracy.
