Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If machine learning systems are used for object detection in satellite images, then automation is improved, but detection precision of small objects like parking spaces deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the detection task into multiple specialized components: a first machine learning model detects parking spaces, a second model identifies false positives, and a third model detects obscured parking spaces. Each model is optimized for its specific function, allowing the overall system to maintain high automation while achieving superior detection precision for small objects like parking spaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces intermediary processing steps between initial detection and final output. Detected parking spaces are subjected to intermediate verification by the false positive detection model and obscured space detection model. This intermediary layer filters out errors and补充s missing detections, resolving the contradiction between automated processing and detection precision.
2Quantity of substance
If existing map data is used, then data availability is improved, but detail information for small objects like parking spaces deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection and analysis on satellite images before finalizing the parking space data. By pre-processing the images with specialized machine learning models to identify parking spaces, remove false positives, and detect obscured spaces, the system extracts detailed information that would otherwise be lost in standard map data, while maintaining broad data availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of detection detail by applying multiple specialized models with different detection criteria. The first model detects visible parking spaces, the second model identifies false positives using different parameters, and the third model detects obscured spaces by analyzing contextual parameters. This multi-parameter approach recovers detailed information about small objects while preserving data availability.

AI summary
Various implementations include a system and method for operating a parking space detection. A system may analyze an image tile for parking spaces. A method implemented by the system may include detecting a plurality of parking spaces from the image tile; analyzing the plurality of parking spaces for false parking spaces; removing at least one detected false parking space from the plurality of parking spaces to form a set of remaining plurality of parking spaces; and determining one or more parking space attributes of the remaining plurality of parking spaces. The method may also include storing the remaining plurality of parking spaces, the determined at least one obscured parking space, and their respective associated parking space attributes. The method may further include enabling at least one detected parking space of the plurality of parking spaces to be used to aid an activity associated with a vehicle.
