Solution Overview

Problem

Current video identification methods fail to effectively improve accuracy by not considering changes between adjacent frames, leading to suboptimal video recognition performance.

Innovation Solution

A video identification method that extracts images and optical flows from videos, using a first machine learning model with a larger depth than a second model to classify images and optical flows, respectively, and fuses the classification results to enhance video identification accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a single machine learning model is used to classify video frames directly, then the identification process is simple and fast, but the accuracy is insufficient because changes between adjacent frames are not considered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo identification accuracyVSAvoidmodel structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the video identification task into two independent classification problems: one for image content and another for optical flow. Each problem is handled by a dedicated machine learning model, allowing each model to be optimized for its specific input type while working together to achieve higher overall accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the classification results from two different machine learning models (image classifier and optical flow classifier) through a fusion mechanism. This combination allows the system to leverage complementary information from both models to achieve superior video identification accuracy compared to using a single model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Measurement precision

If a deep machine learning model is used to extract more feature information, then the identification accuracy improves, but the computational complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature extraction accuracyVSAvoidcomputational cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the feature extraction task into two separate streams: one for image features and another for optical flow features. Each stream uses a machine learning model with appropriate depth for its specific requirements, avoiding the need for an overly deep model to handle both tasks simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies machine learning models with different depths to different tasks based on their specific requirements. The image classification model uses a deeper architecture to capture complex visual patterns, while the optical flow model uses a shallower architecture sufficient for motion analysis, optimizing the balance between accuracy and computational cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
