Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image segmentation methods, particularly those using deep learning, are limited in classifying undefined object information during the training stage, and require specific and complex user input for accurate object detection.

Innovation Solution

A personalized image segmentation device and method that includes a user input collector, a sensing information analyzer, a user semantic information generator, a multimodal foundation model, and an image-input decoder. This system converts simple user inputs into personalized semantic information, which is then used to enhance object detection performance in image segmentation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If RIS technology is used to detect object information based on user input, then the system can detect object information not learned in advance, but the user must repeatedly input the same information to detect objects accurately

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection of undefined object informationVSAvoidrepeated user input
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by collecting sensing information (location, time, device data) and generating context information in advance. This pre-processing allows the system to automatically supplement user inputs with relevant contextual data, reducing the need for repeated user input while maintaining accurate object detection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If deep learning models are trained with supervised learning for image segmentation, then the models can classify defined objects, but they are limited in classifying undefined object information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject classification accuracyVSAvoidclassification of undefined objects
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces context information as an intermediary element that bridges supervised learning models and undefined object detection. By generating context information from sensing data and using it to supplement user inputs, the system enables multi-modal foundation models to detect objects beyond their training distribution while maintaining classification accuracy through the mediating context layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
