Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional object detection models are used to detect moving pedestrians in dense environments, then detection accuracy can be achieved, but processing time increases and real-time performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The detection model is segmented into three independent sub-networks: feature extraction network, feature fusion network, and data obtaining network. Each sub-network processes specific tasks independently, allowing parallel computation and reducing overall processing time while maintaining detection accuracy through coordinated information flow between segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The feature extraction network performs preliminary feature extraction on input images before the feature fusion network processes the extracted features. This preliminary action prepares and pre-processes the data in advance, reducing the computational burden on subsequent networks and enabling faster overall processing while preserving detection precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If complex feature fusion is applied to handle dense environments, then detection accuracy improves, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The feature fusion network applies different fusion strategies to different spatial regions and feature layers. Local quality is enhanced by selectively fusing features based on their spatial location and semantic importance, rather than uniformly processing all features. This reduces computational complexity by focusing computation on critical regions while maintaining overall detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The model transitions from 2D image processing to multi-scale feature space processing by incorporating spatial transformer modules and hierarchical feature fusion. This dimensional transformation allows the system to handle dense environments more effectively by operating in multiple feature dimensions simultaneously, improving accuracy without proportionally increasing computational complexity.

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

If real-time detection is implemented for pedestrian traffic statistics, then processing speed increases, but detection reliability decreases in dense environments

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The data obtaining network incorporates feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor detection results and adjust feature extraction and fusion operations accordingly. This feedback loop enables the system to maintain high processing speed while improving reliability by adapting to challenging dense environment conditions in real-time, correcting detection errors dynamically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The model employs dynamic adaptive normalization and spatial transformer modules that adjust their operation based on the complexity of the input image and detected object characteristics. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to optimize processing speed for simple scenes while automatically increasing reliability for complex dense environments, achieving both goals simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
