Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If object detection and classification is performed using radar data, then object position and type information is obtained, but uncertainty quantification is lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The diagnostic module generates uncertainty values as feedback information about the reliability of detection results. These uncertainty values are displayed alongside diagnostic results to provide users with confidence levels, enabling them to assess the quality of object detection and classification.
2Reliability
If multiple diagnostic parameters are provided, then comprehensive wall diagnosis is achieved, but information complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The diagnostic information is segmented into distinct components: object position, object type, and uncertainty values. Each parameter is presented separately and clearly in the display unit, allowing users to process information systematically without being overwhelmed by complexity.
3Measurement precision
If uncertainty values are calculated and displayed, then detection quality assessment is enabled, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The diagnostic module calculates uncertainty values during the object detection and classification process itself, rather than as a separate post-processing step. This preliminary integration ensures that uncertainty information is generated concurrently with diagnostic results, minimizing additional processing time.
