Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current three-dimensional image systems for surgical operations, which rely on stereoscopic displays, face challenges in dynamically adjusting the depth perception for multiple observers, particularly in a surgical setting where the position of surgeons may change, leading to suboptimal visualization and potential discomfort due to mismatched depth cues.
Innovation Solution
A three-dimensional image system that includes a monitor with scanning capabilities to detect and adjust image parameters stored in 3D glasses, allowing for real-time correction of depth information and color tone to match the observer's preferences, ensuring consistent and comfortable depth perception across different observer positions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a stereoscopic display system is used to provide three-dimensional images, then depth perception and cubic effect are improved, but the system cannot dynamically adapt to multiple observers at different positions, leading to mismatched depth cues and visual discomfort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of image parameters (parallax amount, depth feeling, cubic effect) based on the detected position of each observer. The system continuously scans for glasses, identifies observer positions, and modifies display parameters in real-time to maintain optimal depth perception for each observer's location, transforming a static stereoscopic system into a dynamic adaptive one.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses a scanning section to detect the position of observers wearing 3D glasses and provides feedback to the control section. Based on this feedback, the control section adjusts image parameters such as parallax amount and depth feeling to match each observer's position, creating a closed-loop system that continuously optimizes the 3D display for multiple observers.
2Ease of operation
If image parameters are fixed for stereoscopic display, then the system is simple to operate, but it causes visual discomfort and reduces surgical precision when observers change positions
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects observer positions using the scanning section and autonomously adjusts image parameters without requiring manual intervention from observers or operators. The 3D glasses with storing sections enable the system to self-configure optimal display parameters based on detected observer locations, maintaining visual comfort while observers move freely.
3Productivity
If multiple observers share the same display system, then resource utilization is improved, but each observer receives suboptimal depth perception due to fixed image parameters
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different image parameters to different spatial regions or observer positions. Each observer receives customized display parameters (parallax amount, depth feeling) tailored to their specific location, rather than a uniform setting for all observers. This local optimization maintains high depth perception accuracy for each individual while allowing multiple observers to share the system.
