Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If deep learning models are used to detect specific items, then detection accuracy is improved, but the system cannot achieve universality and requires retraining for different objects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the detection process into two independent parts: (1) a universal feature extraction module using traditional computer vision algorithms that can handle any object type, and (2) a defect detection module that focuses on identifying anomalies. This segmentation allows the system to maintain high accuracy for defect detection while being universally applicable to different objects without retraining.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the detection parameters from object-specific deep learning model parameters to universal image feature parameters such as edge detection, corner detection, and texture features. By using parameters like Harris corner detection response values, Sobel edge detection gradients, and Gabor texture feature responses, the system achieves both accuracy and universality across different object types.
2Measurement precision
If deep learning models are retrained for different objects, then detection accuracy is maintained, but labor and time costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-extracting universal features from images using traditional computer vision algorithms before defect detection. Features such as edge maps, corner points, and texture descriptors are computed in advance and stored, allowing rapid defect detection without requiring time-consuming model retraining when switching between different objects.
3Device complexity
If traditional visual algorithms are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but stability and resistance to external interference deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a composite detection approach by combining multiple traditional visual algorithms (edge detection, corner detection, texture analysis) into an integrated system. This composite approach leverages the strengths of each algorithm to improve overall stability and resistance to external interference while maintaining relative system simplicity compared to deep learning models.
4Measurement precision
If embedded models are included in software, then detection accuracy is improved, but software volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential feature detection components from complex deep learning models, keeping only the critical traditional computer vision algorithms needed for defect detection. This extraction approach maintains detection accuracy by preserving the core functionality while significantly reducing software volume by removing unnecessary model weights and training data.
5Measurement precision
If complex parameters require manual operation, then detection precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by automatically selecting and adjusting detection parameters based on the input image characteristics. The system automatically determines optimal threshold values, feature detection parameters, and comparison criteria without requiring manual configuration, thereby maintaining high detection precision while significantly improving ease of operation for end users.
