1Productivity

If a trained model is used to output three-dimensional scene models, then the model can be generated efficiently, but the prediction accuracy of color values and depths is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel generation efficiencyVSAvoiddepth prediction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple data sources (radar point cloud data and image data) and multiple loss functions (depth loss and color loss) into a unified training framework. This merging allows the model to simultaneously optimize for both depth accuracy and color accuracy, resolving the contradiction between efficient model generation and precise depth prediction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism through deep supervision using radar point cloud data during the training process. The radar depth information provides ground truth feedback that guides the optimization of depth predictions, enabling the model to learn accurate depth values while maintaining efficient generation capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If radar point cloud data is used as deep supervision, then depth accuracy is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedepth accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The trained three-dimensional construction network serves multiple functions: it predicts both depth values and color values from input images. By making the model multi-functional, the patent reduces the need for separate specialized systems, thereby managing complexity while improving depth accuracy through radar supervision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses the three-dimensional construction network as an intermediary that processes and integrates information from multiple sources (images and radar data). This intermediary model consolidates the complexity of fusing multiple data types into a unified prediction system, making the overall system more manageable while achieving high depth accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If multiple frames of images and radar data are used for joint training, then geometric consistency is improved, but the training complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegeometric consistencyVSAvoidtraining complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the training process into distinct components: image data processing, radar data processing, and integrated joint training. By segmenting the complex training task into manageable parts with separate pipelines, the system can handle multiple frames of images and radar data while controlling training complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite training framework that integrates heterogeneous data types (image data and radar point cloud data) into a unified training process. This composite approach allows the model to learn geometric consistency from multiple sources simultaneously, improving structural stability while managing complexity through a unified loss function and training pipeline.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
