Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from 2D super-resolution processing to 3D super-resolution processing by incorporating depth information and 3D geometric constraints. This dimensional change allows the system to process unaligned image sequences in 3D space, maintaining texture mapping quality while improving rendering reliability through proper 3D spatial relationships.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the processing parameters from 2D image coordinates to 3D spatial coordinates including depth information.

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the super-resolution processing into 3D spatial components, processing the model in three-dimensional space rather than requiring full high-resolution 2D images. This segmentation allows quality improvement while reducing resource consumption by working with 3D geometric representations and depth maps instead of complete high-resolution image data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

By moving to 3D processing, the patent reduces the dimensional data requirements. Instead of storing and processing large 2D high-resolution images, the system uses 3D geometric models with associated depth maps and texture coordinates, which require less memory and computational resources while maintaining or improving rendering quality.

AI summary

An electronic device and method for texturing a three dimensional (3D) model are provided. The method includes rendering a texture atlas to obtain a first set of two dimensional (2D) images of the 3D model; rendering a ground truth texture atlas to obtain a second set of 2D images of the 3D model; comparing the first set of images with the second set of images to determine a rendering loss; applying the texture sampling properties to a convolutional neural network (CNN) to incorporate the rendering loss into a deep learning framework; and inputting a 2D texture atlas into the CNN to generate a texture of the 3D module.
