Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If video data is processed for recognition without considering image quality changes, then processing is simpler and faster, but recognition accuracy deteriorates when image quality changes occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by generating image quality feature information and creating integrated data that incorporates both video features and image quality characteristics before recognition processing. This preprocessing step prepares the data in advance to compensate for potential image quality changes, allowing the recognition unit to achieve accurate results even when quality varies, without adding complexity to the core recognition algorithm.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The integrated data serves as an intermediary between the raw video data and the recognition unit. By combining video features with image quality feature information into this intermediate representation, the system mediates the effect of image quality changes before they reach the recognition process, thereby maintaining accuracy without requiring the recognition unit itself to be complex or quality-aware.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
