Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If temporal coding is used to project multiple frames of patterns, then three-dimensional reconstruction can be achieved, but high frame rate scanning cannot be realized and applicable scenes are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethree-dimensional reconstruction accuracyVSAvoidscanning frame rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses periodic projection of structured light patterns (multiple frames) to encode depth information temporally, allowing accurate 3D reconstruction while maintaining the ability to handle dynamic scenes through high-speed sequential projection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the temporal parameter by projecting patterns at high frame rates and uses phase-shifting techniques to encode depth information in the temporal domain, resolving the contradiction between reconstruction accuracy and scanning speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If circular code element coding method is used with relative displacement relationship, then decoding can be performed, but code element coding capacity is small and only sparse code element points can be reconstructed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecoding capabilityVSAvoidcode element coding capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from one-dimensional circular code elements to two-dimensional line segment stripe patterns, dramatically increasing the coding capacity by utilizing additional spatial dimensions and allowing dense sampling of code elements across the entire field of view

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the geometric parameters of code elements from small circular shapes to extended line segments with varying orientations and positions, exponentially increasing the number of distinguishable code elements and enabling dense 3D point cloud reconstruction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If image blocks are used for matching, then three-dimensional data can be acquired, but matching accuracy is relatively low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethree-dimensional data acquisitionVSAvoidmatching accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the image into individual code element units rather than using large image blocks, allowing precise matching of each code element's position and orientation while maintaining high computational efficiency through localized processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses multiple geometric parameters (position, orientation, length, width) of line segment stripe code elements for matching instead of simple image block correlation, significantly improving matching accuracy through multi-parameter constraint optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
