1Productivity
If multiple image processing processes are combined to improve processing capability, then the processing performance varies significantly, but it becomes difficult to evaluate and select the optimal combination
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary evaluation of process combinations by executing test images through each combination before actual use. The evaluation apparatus pre-calculates performance metrics (processing time, memory usage, accuracy) for multiple process combinations and stores these results, allowing users to select optimal combinations without performing real-time evaluations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses test images as copies of actual processing targets to evaluate process combinations. By processing duplicate test images through different process combinations, the system can assess performance characteristics without affecting actual work workflows, enabling safe and efficient selection of optimal combinations.
2Measurement precision
If process combinations are evaluated through actual execution to ensure accurate performance assessment, then evaluation accuracy improves, but time and computational resources are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs evaluations in advance by executing test images through each process combination before deployment. The evaluation results including processing time, memory consumption, and accuracy metrics are stored and can be retrieved for selection, eliminating the need for time-consuming real-time evaluations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses disposable test images specifically designed for evaluation purposes. These test images are processed through various combinations to gather performance data, then discarded after serving their evaluation function. This approach allows repeated evaluations without consuming actual work images or resources.
