Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic apparatuses face challenges in accurately recognizing the view angle of first person view screens, particularly due to interference from specific objects that hinder the recognition accuracy of neural network models used for this purpose.

Innovation Solution

The electronic apparatus captures the first person view screen, removes specific objects to generate a preprocessed image, and inputs this image into a neural network model to recognize the view angle, thereby improving recognition accuracy and enabling subsequent functions based on the recognized angle.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a neural network model is used to recognize view angle of first person view screen, then recognition functionality is provided, but recognition accuracy deteriorates due to interference from specific objects in the screen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveview angle recognition accuracyVSAvoidinterference from specific objects
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes specific objects (such as hands, weapons, or other foreground elements) from the first person view screen before inputting the image to the neural network model. This preprocessing step isolates the relevant visual information for view angle recognition while eliminating distracting elements that would interfere with accurate angle detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Measurement precision

If specific objects are removed from the screen to improve recognition accuracy, then preprocessing steps are added, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveview angle recognition accuracyVSAvoidimage processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-processing the first person view screen to remove specific objects before the main recognition task. This preliminary removal of interfering elements simplifies the subsequent view angle recognition process and improves overall system efficiency despite the added preprocessing step.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
