Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If standard machine learning classification techniques are used for spectral object classification, then the classification process can be performed with conventional methods, but the accuracy is insufficient for complex spectral objects with varying constituents and forms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidability to handle complex spectral objects
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the spectral classification problem into multiple binary decision stages using a sieve-type process. Each stage divides the feature space to separate specific classes or backgrounds, progressively refining classification accuracy for complex spectral objects with varying constituents and forms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the high-dimensional spectral data into score distributions through linear transformation operations. This dimensional transformation creates disjoint or sufficiently distinct score distributions that enable accurate classification while handling the complexity of varying spectral constituents.

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

2Measurement precision

If high-dimensional spectral data is processed directly, then comprehensive spectral information is utilized, but classification accuracy decreases due to the curse of dimensionality and noise sensitivity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoiddimensionality of spectral data
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts discriminative features from high-dimensional spectral data by projecting onto linear transformation operations that generate score distributions. This extraction process isolates the most informative spectral characteristics while eliminating redundant dimensions and noise, thereby improving classification accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary linear transformation operations on spectral data before classification to create score distributions. This preliminary processing step pre-separates the feature space in a way that simplifies subsequent binary decision-making and reduces the impact of the curse of dimensionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If complex neural network architectures are used to handle spectral variability, then classification accuracy may improve, but the system complexity and computational requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidneural network architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex neural network architectures with a sieve-type binary decision ensemble system based on linear transformation operations and score distributions. This substitution maintains classification accuracy for spectral objects with varying constituents while significantly reducing architectural complexity and computational requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Measurement precision

If iterative filtering of measurement vectors is performed to achieve disjoint score distributions, then classification accuracy improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies iterative filtering of measurement vectors to achieve disjoint or sufficiently distinct score distributions. The process performs filtering to the extent necessary to separate classes or backgrounds, balancing processing time against classification accuracy by stopping when sufficient separation is achieved.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
