Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If human observers are used to validate object detection outputs, then detection accuracy can be ensured, but real-time processing capability is lost due to the impracticality of manual review at 25 frames per second
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-validation by automatically checking its own detection outputs against predefined assertions and rules. The validation module examines bounding boxes, detection confidence scores, and object relationships without human intervention, enabling the system to maintain detection accuracy while operating in real-time at full frame rate
Solution Approach 2:
An automated validation module acts as an intermediary between the object detection model and the final output. This intermediate layer applies assertion-based validation rules to filter and verify detections, providing automated quality control that replaces manual human review while maintaining processing speed
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple bounding boxes are used to detect different objects, then comprehensive object detection is achieved, but bounding box overlap and disparity issues arise that reduce detection precision
Solution Approach 1:
The validation module provides feedback by automatically detecting and flagging bounding box overlaps and disparities. When overlapping bounding boxes are detected, the system identifies potential duplicity errors and applies validation rules to resolve conflicts, thereby maintaining detection precision while preserving comprehensive object detection capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies preliminary validation rules to prevent bounding box overlap issues from affecting final detection results. By proactively checking for overlaps and disparities before final output generation, the system corrects potential errors in advance, maintaining both comprehensive detection and high precision
3Ease of operation
If object detection systems operate in safety-critical applications, then important functions are performed, but severe consequences can occur due to misclassification, poor localization, and misdetection errors
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary validation of detection results before they are used for critical decision-making. By applying assertion-based validation rules in advance, the system identifies and flags potential errors in misclassification, poor localization, and misdetection, thereby improving reliability while maintaining full system functionality
Solution Approach 2:
An automated validation intermediary layer is introduced between the object detection model and the application logic. This intermediate validation module applies safety-critical checks and assertion rules to ensure detection reliability, preventing erroneous detections from causing severe consequences while preserving system operational capability
