Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If neural rendering techniques are used to restore scene images from different viewpoints, then photorealistic synthesis is improved, but inconsistencies and loss of detail occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephotorealistic synthesis qualityVSAvoidimage consistency and detail preservation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the scene restoration process into multiple stages: obtaining input images from different viewpoints, generating augmented images through view change models, and restoring the scene image using a scene restoration model. This segmentation allows each stage to focus on specific tasks, improving overall reliability while maintaining precision through controlled processing steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by generating augmented images from input images before the main scene restoration process. These augmented images serve as pre-processed data that contains information about different viewpoints, which is then used by the scene restoration model to generate the final restored scene image with improved consistency and detail.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If multiple augmented images are generated from a single input image, then scene restoration accuracy is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescene restoration accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent generates multiple augmented images from a single input image as a preliminary step before performing scene restoration. This preliminary generation of augmented images from different viewpoints provides rich contextual information that improves restoration accuracy while the processing time is managed through efficient model design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The scene restoration model is designed to handle multiple augmented images and generate a single restored scene image that incorporates information from all viewpoints. This multi-functionality allows the system to process multiple input images efficiently and produce accurate restoration results without proportionally increasing processing time.

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