Solution Overview

Problem

Existing target detection methods struggle with low accuracy in detecting moving targets that move slowly or rotate, often resulting in incomplete detection and holes in the detection process.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional target detection methods are used, then the detection process is simple, but the detection accuracy is low for moving targets that move slowly or rotate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoiddetection process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the image processing into multiple frequency bands using multiband filtering. The image is decomposed into different frequency components (low-frequency, medium-frequency, high-frequency bands), allowing the detection system to analyze target features at different scales and orientations separately, thereby improving detection accuracy for slowly moving or rotating targets

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces directional filtering to add an orientation dimension to the detection process. By filtering images in multiple directions (horizontal, vertical, diagonal orientations) and fusing the results, the system captures target features from multiple angular perspectives, significantly improving the ability to detect rotating targets

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

2Measurement precision

If multiband and multidirectional filtering is applied, then detection accuracy improves, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidcomputational power
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary multiband filtering to decompose the image into frequency components before directional filtering. This preliminary segmentation allows subsequent directional filtering to operate on already-simplified frequency bands, reducing the overall computational burden compared to applying directional filtering on the full-resolution image

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the results from multiple directional filters through feature fusion. Instead of processing each direction separately through complete detection pipelines, the system combines directional features at the feature level, reducing redundant computations while maintaining detection accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A detection method includes performing multiband filtering on a first area to obtain a plurality of band sub-images, the first area being an area in a first video frame, and performing multidirectional filtering on the plurality of band sub-images to obtain a plurality of direction sub-images. The method further includes acquiring a direction-band fused feature of the first area according to the plurality of direction sub-images, and inputting the direction-band fused feature into a detection model, and performing detection based on the direction-band fused feature using the detection model to detect whether the first area comprises an object.
