Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a single correction filter is applied to the entire image, then the processing is simple and fast, but the image quality and user intention matching are suboptimal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage correction precisionVSAvoidcorrection processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The image is segmented into multiple objects using object recognition technology. Each object is then processed with its own dedicated correction filter based on its specific attributes, rather than applying a single filter to the entire image. This segmentation enables precise, object-specific correction while maintaining processing efficiency through automated attribute-based filter selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different correction filters are applied to different objects within the image based on their specific attributes. Each object receives a tailored correction filter that matches its characteristics, achieving local optimization of image quality rather than uniform processing. This allows each region to be corrected according to its specific needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple correction filters are applied to different objects, then the image quality improves, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject-specific correction precisionVSAvoidimage processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Object attributes are recognized and analyzed in advance using object recognition technology before correction filter application. This preliminary action of identifying and categorizing objects by their attributes enables the system to pre-determine which correction filters to apply, streamlining the overall processing pipeline and reducing total processing time despite multiple filters being used.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically selects correction filters based on recognized object attributes, changing the processing parameters (filter selection) according to each object's characteristics. This parameter-based approach allows automated, efficient filter selection that reduces manual intervention and optimizes processing speed while maintaining high correction precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
