Solution Overview

Problem

Current temporal action detection methods are limited in their ability to apply to resources of arbitrary duration and lack strong frame mobility, making them less effective for long-duration tasks and various types of resources.

Innovation Solution

A method that performs feature extraction on target frame data to obtain feature data, followed by temporal action proposal to generate candidate action proposals, and then classifies these proposals to determine action detection results, including category and period, allowing for action detection in resources of any duration and type.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If current temporal action detection methods are used, then action detection can be performed on standard resources, but the method is limited in its ability to apply to resources of arbitrary duration and lacks strong frame mobility

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplicability to resources of arbitrary durationVSAvoiddetection effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The method segments the action detection process into three independent modules: feature extraction, temporal action proposal, and classification. This segmentation allows each module to process data of arbitrary duration independently, improving adaptability while maintaining detection reliability through modular processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The method dynamically adjusts the temporal action proposal mechanism to handle resources of varying durations. By using a proposal network that can generate action intervals adaptively based on input characteristics, the system achieves strong frame mobility and reliability across different resource types and lengths

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If feature extraction is performed on target frame data, then action detection accuracy is improved, but processing time and computational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaction detection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The method performs preliminary feature extraction on target frame data before action proposal and classification. By pre-extracting and storing feature data in a cache structure, the system prepares computational resources in advance, reducing real-time processing time while maintaining high detection accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The method maintains continuous feature extraction and caching operations throughout the video processing pipeline. By keeping the feature extraction process continuous and reusable, the system avoids redundant computations and maintains accurate action detection while optimizing processing efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
