Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If principal component analysis is performed on Raman spectrum distribution in cells, then cell type determination is achieved, but measurement time becomes excessively long
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts only the necessary spectral information by performing principal component analysis to obtain a small number of principal component scores that capture the essential characteristics of cell types. This extraction approach eliminates redundant information while retaining the key features needed for accurate cell type determination, thereby reducing measurement time without sacrificing accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transforms the original Raman spectral data into a different parameter space through principal component analysis. By converting the spectrum into principal component scores, the method changes the representation parameters to achieve both dimensionality reduction and enhanced discrimination between cell types, resolving the contradiction between measurement time and determination accuracy.
2Loss of information
If Raman spectrum distribution is obtained throughout the cell, then comprehensive cell information is acquired, but the complexity of spectral superposition increases making accurate determination difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces principal component analysis as an intermediary processing step between raw Raman spectral acquisition and cell type determination. This intermediary transformation decomposes the complex superposed spectra into principal components, simplifying the analysis while preserving the essential information from different cellular structures. The principal component scores serve as mediators that maintain information integrity while reducing analytical complexity.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple Raman spectra are measured from different cell locations, then distribution information is obtained, but the diversity of cellular structure distribution reduces determination reliability
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges multiple Raman spectral measurements from different cell locations into a unified analysis framework. By combining the spectra and performing principal component analysis on the aggregated data, the method integrates information from various cellular structures while using the learned model to achieve consistent and reliable cell type determination across the entire cell population, overcoming the reliability issues caused by structural diversity.
