VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional edge detection methods are used, then the processing can be performed, but the edge detection accuracy is low due to redundant environmental information

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential object vertex information from the complete image data. By using an object vertex recognition model to identify and extract vertex positions and relative positions, the system separates the useful object information from the redundant environmental information, enabling accurate edge detection without being distracted by unnecessary background data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the image processing task into distinct stages: first recognizing object vertices through a specialized model, then determining relative positions, and finally calculating actual positions and generating edge lines. This segmentation allows each stage to focus on specific aspects, improving overall accuracy while managing computational efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If the entire image is processed to locate object edges, then complete edge information can be obtained, but the processing time increases due to large amount of data

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential object vertex information from the complete image data. By using an object vertex recognition model to identify and extract vertex positions and relative positions, the system separates the useful object information from the redundant environmental information, enabling accurate edge detection without being distracted by unnecessary background data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary recognition of object vertices and their relative positions before final edge line generation. This preliminary action filters and pre-processes the data, identifying only the relevant vertex information needed for edge detection, thereby reducing the amount of data that requires full processing and decreasing overall processing time.

3Measurement precision

If machine learning model is used for vertex recognition, then the vertex detection accuracy is improved, but the computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the image processing task into distinct stages: first recognizing object vertices through a specialized model, then determining relative positions, and finally calculating actual positions and generating edge lines. This segmentation allows each stage to focus on specific aspects, improving overall accuracy while managing computational efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies the object vertex recognition model specifically to detect object vertices and their relative positions, rather than processing the entire image with high computational complexity. By localizing the machine learning application to only the essential vertex recognition task, the system achieves high accuracy for critical parameters while reducing overall computational burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
