Solution Overview

Problem

Current text-to-image search systems rely solely on similarity comparisons, leading to inaccurate search results due to the lack of a stable threshold for determining image matches.

Innovation Solution

The proposed method utilizes an intelligent engine with two distinct models: a first model for text-to-image matching and a second model for image-to-image matching, allowing for a refined search process by iteratively filtering images based on character information and image features.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If text-to-image search relies solely on similarity comparisons, then the search process is simple, but the search result accuracy is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch result accuracyVSAvoidsearch process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The search process is segmented into multiple stages: first model for initial image set selection, second model for refined matching. This divides the complex search task into manageable segments that can be processed sequentially, improving accuracy without overwhelming system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The first model performs preliminary action by selecting an initial set of candidate images based on text input before the second model conducts detailed matching. This preliminary filtering reduces the search space and improves the effectiveness of subsequent precise matching

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If a single model is used for text-to-image search, then the system is simple, but the matching accuracy is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage matching accuracyVSAvoidmodel structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The single model is segmented into two distinct models with different functions: first model for broad candidate selection, second model for precise matching. This segmentation allows each model to specialize in its task, improving overall accuracy while maintaining reasonable system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The first model acts as an intermediary between text input and the second model, transforming text queries into an initial image set that serves as input for the second model. This intermediary step bridges the gap between text and image domains, improving matching accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
