Solution Overview

Problem

Existing target re-identification networks have low accuracy in target identification due to inadequate feature extraction and representation.

Innovation Solution

A target re-identification network is trained with multiple branches that extract n local feature information from different regions of an image, followed by parameter adjustment and fusion of feature information to enhance representation and accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If existing training methods are used for target re-identification network, then the network can be trained and deployed, but the target identification accuracy is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetarget identification accuracyVSAvoidnetwork structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The target re-identification network is divided into multiple branches, where each branch extracts features from different regions of the input image. This segmentation allows the network to capture local features from various parts of the target simultaneously, improving identification accuracy by focusing on region-specific characteristics rather than processing the entire image as a single unit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The network extracts n local feature information (where n > 3) from different regions, adding a spatial dimension to feature extraction. Instead of using a single global feature representation, the patent introduces multiple local feature vectors that capture information from different spatial locations, thereby enriching the feature space and improving discrimination capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If multiple branches with n local feature information are used, then feature extraction granularity is enriched, but network complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature representation completenessVSAvoidnetwork structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The network is segmented into multiple independent branches, each responsible for extracting features from a specific region. This segmentation ensures that local features from different regions are captured without interference, reducing information loss while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple branches perform the same feature extraction function but on different regions of the input image. This multi-functionality allows the network to gather comprehensive feature information from various locations simultaneously, improving feature representation completeness without requiring fundamentally different processing mechanisms for each region.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
