Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional 2D to 3D modeling techniques lack metadata integration, requiring manual and costly processes to embed additional information into 3D object models, which is inconvenient for user experience and application in digital twin and metaverse environments.

Innovation Solution

A method to automatically generate customizable 3D model metadata by combining a first 3D object model with metadata acquired from databases and the Internet, using AI algorithms like NeRF for visualization and object detection to integrate metadata during the modeling process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If conventional 2D to 3D modeling techniques are used, then visual 3D object models can be created, but metadata integration is lacking and requires manual processes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemetadata integration automationVSAvoidmanual metadata integration convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically performs metadata integration by itself without human intervention. The metadata extraction module automatically extracts metadata from 2D images, and the metadata integration module automatically integrates this metadata with the 3D object model, making the system self-sufficient in handling metadata integration tasks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with automated computational processes. Instead of manually extracting and integrating metadata, the system uses automated modules with algorithms to perform these tasks, substituting human labor with machine-based automated processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of information

If manual metadata integration is performed, then comprehensive metadata can be added to 3D models, but labor and time costs increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemetadata completenessVSAvoidmetadata integration time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs metadata extraction from 2D images before the 3D modeling process begins. By preparing and organizing metadata in advance through automated extraction, the system ensures metadata completeness is achieved without adding time costs during the main modeling and integration phases

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If manual metadata integration is used, then 3D models can have embedded metadata, but user flexibility and efficiency in editing are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser flexibility in editingVSAvoidmetadata integration efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides dynamic and flexible metadata integration capabilities that allow users to easily modify, add, or remove metadata from 3D object models. The automated integration framework is designed to be adaptable, enabling efficient editing operations while maintaining high productivity through its automated nature

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
