Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If traditional image processing methods are used, then processing accuracy is maintained, but processing speed is slow and real-time analysis is difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage processing speedVSAvoidreal-time analysis capability
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the feature map into multiple feature regions and processes them through parallel convolution operations. The feature map is segmented into distinct regions that can be simultaneously processed by multiple convolution kernels, thereby increasing processing speed while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension by applying windowing operations across multiple feature maps in a sequence. This creates an additional processing dimension where windowed feature maps are generated and processed in parallel, significantly accelerating the overall processing speed and enabling real-time analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If feature map processing is performed without windowing, then processing simplicity is maintained, but processing speed is insufficient for real-time applications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing speedVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs windowing operations as a preliminary step before the final convolution processing. By pre-processing the feature maps with windowing operations and generating windowed feature maps in advance, the system prepares data structures that enable faster subsequent processing, thereby improving overall productivity without significantly increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
