Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video analysis and surveillance systems fail to provide actionable intelligence and real-time responses to events of interest, as they perform discrete analysis tasks rather than comprehending scenes holistically.

Innovation Solution

A combined machine learning model core that processes video input in parallel to extract mutual information from distinct feature outputs, generating comprehensive and coherent interpretations of scenes, enabling real-time actionable intelligence.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If discrete detection and analysis methods are used for single computer vision tasks, then automated detections can be enabled, but comprehensive and actionable interpretations cannot be provided

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomated detection capabilityVSAvoidcomprehensive scene interpretation
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple discrete computer vision models (object detection, pose estimation, scene segmentation) into a unified multi-task learning framework that processes video data holistically, enabling both automated detection and comprehensive scene interpretation simultaneously through shared feature extraction and coordinated prediction heads

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Area of stationary object

If multiple video cameras provide multiple video feeds from different locations, then coverage of defined spaces is improved, but integration and coherent interpretation of events across feeds becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespatial coverage areaVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal multi-task learning model that handles multiple computer vision tasks (detection, pose estimation, segmentation) and processes inputs from multiple camera feeds simultaneously, providing coherent event interpretation across the entire defined space through a single integrated system rather than separate specialized systems

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

3Productivity

If discrete analysis tasks are performed separately, then computational efficiency is maintained, but real-time comprehensive event detection and interpretation cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputational efficiencyVSAvoidresponse time for event interpretation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the processing into efficient stages: shared feature extraction that processes multiple tasks simultaneously, followed by task-specific prediction heads that generate results in parallel, enabling real-time comprehensive event detection without sacrificing computational efficiency through the use of modern deep learning frameworks and optimized tensor operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
