Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses real-shot security check images as templates to generate synthetic training samples through image processing and fusion techniques. Instead of manually collecting and identifying real contraband images, the system creates copies and variations of real images by fusing them with simulated images, thereby generating large quantities of training data automatically without manual intervention

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs automatic image fusion and sample generation without requiring manual data collection and identification. The algorithm automatically processes real-shot images, fuses them with simulated images, and generates training samples independently, eliminating the need for human labor in data preparation

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an image fusion algorithm as an intermediary between real-shot images and training samples. Instead of directly using manually collected real images, the system uses the fusion algorithm to combine real images with simulated images, creating enhanced training samples that maintain the benefits of real data while eliminating the need for extensive manual collection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of training samples by fusing real images with simulated images at different ratios and applying various image processing techniques. This creates diverse training samples with varied characteristics, improving model generalization without requiring proportional increases in manual data collection

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the sample generation process into distinct segments: obtaining real-shot images, obtaining simulated images, normalizing images, fusing images at different ratios, and generating final training samples. This modular approach simplifies the overall algorithm by breaking it into manageable steps that can be independently optimized and applied flexibly to different scenarios

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates multiple copies and variations of training samples through image fusion, generating large datasets without proportional increases in collection costs. By fusing real images with simulated images, the system automatically generates diverse training data that maintains realism while reducing manual intervention requirements

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The image fusion algorithm serves multiple functions: it generates training samples, enhances existing samples, creates difficult case samples, and adapts to different detection scenarios. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate data collection processes for different purposes, reducing overall costs while improving detection performance
