Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If automatic detection techniques are used to detect objects in images, then detection speed and automation are improved, but detection accuracy and reliability deteriorate due to false alarms and missed detections
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where detection results are reviewed and refined. The object manager receives detection results from the object detector and can adjust detection parameters based on performance metrics, creating a closed-loop system that improves reliability while maintaining automation.
Solution Approach 2:
An object manager is introduced as an intermediary component between the object detector and the user interface. This mediator handles the complexity of detection results, filters false alarms, and presents refined information to users, thereby improving perceived reliability without reducing automation.
2Productivity
If existing face detection methods are used, then basic detection capability is provided, but post-detection processing and management capabilities are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The object manager serves multiple functions: it stores detection results, manages object data, generates reports, and provides user interfaces for interaction. This multi-functional component enables comprehensive post-detection processing without requiring separate systems, improving ease of operation while maintaining detection productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is segmented into distinct functional modules: object detector for detection, object manager for processing and management, and user interface for interaction. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in its function, improving both detection capability and post-detection processing ease.
3Adaptability or versatility
If more detection features are added to handle various objects, then detection versatility is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The object detector is designed with universal detection capabilities that can identify multiple object types using a unified detection framework. This approach provides detection versatility for faces, objects, and other entities without requiring separate specialized systems, thereby avoiding proportional increases in complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The object manager acts as an intermediary that handles the complexity of versatile detection. It standardizes detection results from various object types into a unified data structure, managing the complexity internally while presenting simplified interfaces to users, thus maintaining versatility without exposing system complexity.
4Reliability
If manual verification of detection results is implemented, then detection accuracy is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements partial manual verification where only detection results below a confidence threshold require manual review. High-confidence detections are automatically accepted, while uncertain cases are flagged for manual verification. This approach improves accuracy for critical cases without significantly increasing overall processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
Manual verification results are fed back into the system to refine detection algorithms and adjust confidence thresholds. This feedback loop gradually reduces the number of cases requiring manual review over time, improving accuracy while decreasing the time loss associated with manual verification.
