Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If Gaussian mixture model is used for moving object detection, then detection accuracy can be improved, but the system requires real-time background model updates which increases computational complexity and causes false detections in dynamic environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image into multiple superpixels using SLIC algorithm, and for each superpixel, it segments the background into multiple clusters representing different background objects. This segmentation allows the system to handle complex backgrounds by treating each background object separately, reducing the need for continuous real-time updates while maintaining detection accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary clustering of background pixels into multiple clusters during the initialization phase, creating a structured background model before detection begins. This preliminary action prepares the system to handle dynamic backgrounds without requiring continuous real-time model updates during the detection phase, thus reducing computational complexity while maintaining accuracy.
2Productivity
If ViBe background modeling method is used, then detection speed is improved and computational load is reduced, but false detections increase due to sensitivity to noise and introduction of Ghost areas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the advantages of multiple approaches by combining superpixel-based region grouping with multiple background clusters. It uses the efficient pixel-wise comparison of ViBe within each superpixel region while enhancing it with multiple background clusters to reduce false detections caused by noise and dynamic backgrounds, thus improving both speed and accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different processing strategies to different regions by creating multiple background clusters for each superpixel based on local background characteristics. This allows the system to adapt to local variations in the background (such as different types of moving elements in different regions) without increasing global computational complexity, thereby improving detection accuracy while maintaining speed.
3Measurement precision
If multiple background clusters are created for each superpixel, then detection accuracy is improved by handling complex backgrounds, but computational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses SLIC algorithm to segment the image into superpixels, which groups spatially adjacent pixels with similar characteristics. This segmentation reduces the number of independent processing units compared to pixel-level processing, and within each superpixel, multiple background clusters are created. This hierarchical segmentation approach manages computational complexity while improving detection accuracy through better background modeling.
4Adaptability or versatility
If real-time background model updates are performed, then adaptation to changing environments is improved, but false detections increase due to model instability in dynamic scenes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary clustering of background pixels into multiple clusters during initialization, capturing the structure of dynamic backgrounds before detection begins. This preliminary action creates a stable background model that can handle environmental changes without requiring continuous real-time updates during detection, thus maintaining detection accuracy while improving adaptability to changing environments.
