Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image processing models, particularly semantic segmentation models, face challenges in achieving high accuracy due to insufficient and varied real-world training datasets, leading to poor performance and low accuracy, as they often rely on limited image generation methods that do not account for complex environmental conditions.

Innovation Solution

A method involving semantic segmentation graphs and key words is employed to generate target images with specific features, ensuring semantic consistency and enhancing the training dataset, using a trained neural network model to map images and key words to a predetermined feature space, thereby improving model accuracy and robustness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If traditional image generation methods are used, then the training dataset can be expanded, but the accuracy and robustness of the image processing model remain insufficient due to limited variety and failure to account for complex environmental conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining dataset sizeVSAvoidimage processing accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the image generation process into distinct components: semantic segmentation graph generation, keyword-based feature transformation, and target image synthesis. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, ensuring both dataset expansion and maintenance of high processing accuracy through controlled transformation of semantic features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the semantic segmentation graph by applying parameter changes based on keywords representing environmental conditions (e.g., lighting, weather, season). These parameter changes generate diverse training images while maintaining semantic consistency, thereby improving model accuracy across varying environmental conditions without sacrificing dataset quantity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If more diverse training data is generated to improve model robustness, then the model can handle complex environmental conditions better, but the complexity of the image generation process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel robustnessVSAvoidimage generation process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a semantic segmentation graph as an intermediary representation between the source image and the final target image. This intermediary structure simplifies the generation process by working with segmented semantic features rather than raw pixels, reducing computational complexity while enabling diverse environmental condition transformations through keyword-based operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Manufacturing precision

If semantic segmentation and transformation methods are used, then the authenticity and semantic consistency of generated images are maintained, but the computational complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage generation accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs semantic segmentation and graph generation as preliminary actions before the actual image transformation. By pre-processing the source image into a semantic segmentation graph and preparing keyword-based transformation rules in advance, the system reduces the computational burden during runtime, maintaining high generation accuracy while reducing processing time for generating diverse training images.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
