Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple deep learning models are used to evaluate multiple regions for cross-validation, then the accuracy and confidence of quality loss detection is improved, but the system complexity and computational resources required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality loss detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The video scene is divided into multiple regions that are evaluated independently by different deep learning models. Each model processes a specific region and provides a quality score, allowing the system to achieve comprehensive coverage through segmentation while managing computational complexity by processing regions in parallel

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The quality scores from multiple deep learning models evaluating different regions are combined through cross-validation to produce a final quality assessment. This merging approach leverages the complementary strengths of different models and regions to improve detection accuracy while the combination mechanism itself manages overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If multiple deep learning models with different architectures are employed, then the reliability of quality score evaluation is improved through complementary results, but the computational resources and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality score evaluation reliabilityVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

Different deep learning models with specialized architectures are assigned to evaluate specific regions based on their complementary strengths. This segmentation of evaluation tasks allows each model to operate efficiently on its optimized region while the overall system achieves high reliability through the combined insights of multiple specialized models

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of using a single comprehensive model, the system employs multiple partial models that each evaluate specific regions. This partial action approach improves reliability by capturing different aspects of quality degradation, while the selective application of models to relevant regions optimizes computational resource utilization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
