Innovation Solution
A method that segments the two-dimensional line drawing based on the degree of freedom, reconstructs three-dimensional sub-objects from the segmented sub-drawings, and combines them using point-line-face combinations to obtain the complete three-dimensional object, allowing for simpler input and more accurate reconstruction.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If conventional three-dimensional modeling tools are used, then accurate three-dimensional models can be generated, but the process requires professional knowledge and heavy manual workload
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses two-dimensional line drawings as simplified copies or representations of three-dimensional objects. Instead of requiring users to create complex 3D models directly, the system captures 2D sketches or line drawings that represent the object's geometry, then automatically reconstructs the full 3D model from these simplified 2D inputs, dramatically reducing operational complexity while maintaining model accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual three-dimensional modeling operations with an automated computer vision system. The system uses algorithms to detect lines, edges, and geometric features from 2D images, then automatically constructs 3D models through computational geometry operations, substituting manual mechanical modeling processes with automated image processing and reconstruction algorithms
2Ease of operation
If two-dimensional line drawings are used for reconstruction, then input simplicity is improved, but local optimum problems occur in complex object reconstruction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments complex three-dimensional objects into multiple simpler sub-objects or components during the reconstruction process. By dividing the overall reconstruction task into smaller sub-tasks, each handling a specific portion or feature of the object, the system avoids getting trapped in local optima and can achieve more accurate global reconstruction results from simple 2D line drawing inputs
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional line drawing inputs to three-dimensional model outputs by introducing depth and spatial dimensionality through automated reconstruction algorithms. The system infers 3D geometric information from 2D projections, adding the missing dimensional information computationally to resolve reconstruction accuracy issues while maintaining input simplicity
3Manufacturing precision
If manual three-dimensional modeling is performed, then precise control over the model is achieved, but the process is time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the system to automatically perform the entire three-dimensional modeling process without requiring manual intervention at each step. The computer vision system self-services by automatically detecting features from 2D images, inferring 3D geometry, constructing models, and refining results through iterative optimization, eliminating the need for continuous manual control while maintaining precision and dramatically increasing productivity
