Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image recognition technologies face challenges in accurately identifying and distinguishing specific object nodes, particularly in cases where the target object occupies a small proportion of the image, leading to reduced precision and efficiency in applications like hand gesture recognition.

Innovation Solution

A method involving image detection to isolate a target region, followed by image cropping to obtain a subimage, and subsequent node recognition using optimized neural networks for precise node identification, including hand gesture skeleton recognition.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If deep learning models with large number of parameters are used for fine-grained image classification, then classification accuracy is improved, but model inference time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidinference time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the image processing task into multiple stages: coarse-grained classification first, then fine-grained classification only for selected regions. This segmentation allows the system to use different model complexities for different tasks, improving overall efficiency while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary coarse-grained classification on the entire image before conducting fine-grained classification. This preliminary action identifies regions of interest that require detailed analysis, preventing the computationally expensive fine-grained model from processing the entire image.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If fine-grained classification is performed on the entire image, then object identification accuracy is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject identification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different processing quality to different regions of the image. Regions identified as containing target objects receive fine-grained classification (high quality), while other regions receive coarse-grained classification or no processing (lower quality), optimizing resource allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of performing fine-grained classification on the entire image (excessive action), the patent applies fine-grained classification only to specific regions of interest identified by coarse-grained classification (partial action), reducing computational overhead while maintaining necessary accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If multiple classification models are used for different classification tasks, then classification performance is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification performanceVSAvoidmodel architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs the classification system with multi-functional models that can perform both coarse-grained and fine-grained classification tasks. The same model architecture is used for different classification granularities, reducing the need for separate specialized models and simplifying the overall system.

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