Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional deep learning algorithms for autonomous driving focus on strengthening the model's current performance while neglecting its weaknesses, leading to reduced accuracy and increased uncertainty in complex environments.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that generate misrecognition data to create a weak pattern map, classify a weak database, and selectively train a weak kernel of the object recognition model using a convolutional neural network (CNN) to address model weaknesses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional deep learning algorithms train the model as a whole focusing on current performance, then the model strength is continuously learned, but the model weaknesses are further weakened and accuracy is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel strengthVSAvoidaccuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the model training process by identifying and isolating weak kernels from the overall model. Instead of training the entire model uniformly, the system extracts specific weak kernels that cause misrecognition and trains them separately using misrecognition data, thereby addressing the contradiction between maintaining overall strength and improving accuracy in weak areas

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by focusing training efforts on specific local regions of the model (weak kernels) rather than the entire model. The system identifies which kernels are responsible for misrecognition and concentrates computational resources on improving only those specific kernels, allowing the model to maintain its overall strength while improving local accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If the model is trained to resolve current problems, then the model strength is continuously learned, but the weaknesses of the model are further weakened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining efficiencyVSAvoidmodel weakness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by using misrecognition data generated from comparing model predictions with ground truth to create a feedback loop. The weak pattern map is generated from misrecognition data, and the weak database is classified based on this map, creating a feedback mechanism that identifies and addresses model weaknesses systematically

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-generating misrecognition data and creating a weak pattern map before the actual training process. The weak database is classified in advance based on the weak pattern map, so that when training occurs, the system already has organized data and knowledge about which kernels need improvement, making the training process more efficient and targeted

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method and apparatus of processing an image and a vehicle including the same includes obtaining image information; inputting a ground truth; inputting the image information to an object recognition model to output recognition information including a position and a type of an object included in the image information; generating misrecognition data based on the output recognition information and the ground truth; generating a weak pattern map of the object recognition model by processing the misrecognition data; and classifying a weak database based on the weak pattern map and at least one piece of pre-stored image information.
