Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If principal component analysis is performed to reduce dimensionality and speed up processing, then processing speed is improved, but variance of principal component coefficients is not taken into consideration leading to accuracy deterioration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter representation by dividing principal component coefficients by their standard deviations to normalize them. This transformation allows the system to maintain processing speed while accounting for variance differences among principal components, thereby improving prediction accuracy without sacrificing computational efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary normalization of principal component coefficients by dividing each coefficient by its standard deviation before processing. This preliminary action ensures that variance information is incorporated into the processing pipeline from the outset, preventing accuracy deterioration while maintaining the speed benefits of dimensionality reduction
2Device complexity
If regression analysis is performed independently for each principal component coefficient, then processing is simplified, but overall accuracy deteriorates due to coexistence of high accuracy and low accuracy coefficients
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the treatment of all principal component coefficients by applying the same normalization operation (division by standard deviation) to each coefficient before regression analysis. This unified approach ensures that coefficients with different variances are treated consistently, improving overall prediction accuracy while maintaining processing simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the principal component coefficients by dividing each by its standard deviation, creating a normalized parameter set. This parameter change equalizes the scale and reliability of different coefficients, allowing regression analysis to produce more accurate overall predictions without increasing processing complexity
3Manufacturing precision
If high resolution images are generated from low resolution images using super-resolution technique, then image quality is improved, but computational load increases and processing time is extended
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image processing task by dividing the image into patches and processing each patch independently through principal component analysis. This segmentation allows parallel processing of multiple patches, improving processing efficiency while maintaining high image quality through consistent application of the super-resolution algorithm to each segment
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter space by transforming image patches into principal component coefficient space, where the data has reduced dimensionality and structured variance. This parameter transformation enables more efficient computation of high-resolution reconstructions while preserving image quality, as the normalized coefficients can be processed more quickly than raw pixel data

AI summary
A system includes a learning object storing section that stores objects to be learned, a learning result storing section that stores learning results, and a control section connected to an input section. The control section computes a principal component coefficient vector of a first feature vector of an object to be processed that is designated by the input section, computes a principal component coefficient vector of a second feature vector using a principal component basis vector stored in the learning result storing section, and computes the second feature vector of the object to be processed using the principal component coefficient vector of the second feature vector.
