Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple two-dimensional representations are displayed and combined in three-dimensional space, then the realism and perception accuracy of the three-dimensional object is improved, but the device complexity and synchronization requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The three-dimensional object is divided into multiple two-dimensional cross-sectional representations that are displayed at different positions in three-dimensional space. Each cross-section captures a portion of the object, and when combined, they form a complete three-dimensional representation. This segmentation approach improves perception accuracy while managing system complexity by breaking down the complex task of displaying full 3D information into manageable 2D slices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from traditional two-dimensional image display to three-dimensional space by displaying multiple two-dimensional representations at different spatial positions. This dimensionality change allows observers to perceive depth and volume more accurately, improving realism. The system uses a robotic mounting structure to precisely position displays in three-dimensional space, with synchronization controlled by a controller that coordinates display positions and timing.
2Manufacturing precision
If a robotic mounting structure is used to move display and imager, then the precision of positioning two-dimensional representations is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The robotic mounting structure serves multiple functions: it positions both the display and the imager in three-dimensional space, and it can be controlled to move both components in a coordinated manner. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate positioning mechanisms for each component, thereby managing device complexity while achieving high positioning precision. The single robotic structure can be programmed to execute precise movement patterns for both display and imager.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates a imager that captures the displayed cross-sectional representations, providing feedback to the controller. The controller uses this feedback information to adjust and refine the positioning of the display and imager, ensuring high positioning precision. This closed-loop control system allows the robotic mounting structure to achieve accurate positioning while compensating for any deviations in real-time.
3Measurement precision
If cross-sectional images are combined from multiple predefined positions, then the accuracy of the three-dimensional representation is improved, but the time and complexity of image processing increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays multiple two-dimensional cross-sectional representations at predefined positions in three-dimensional space before capturing the final image. The robotic mounting structure pre-positions the display and imager at these predefined locations, and the controller pre-coordinates the timing and positioning. This preliminary action allows the subsequent image combining process to be more efficient, as the data is already organized and positioned correctly, reducing processing time while maintaining high representation accuracy.
