Adjustable Lens Interval Mechanism for 3D Imaging Range
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing three-dimensional image capturing devices have a fixed lens interval, limiting their shooting range and versatility, as they can only capture images within a specific distance similar to the human eye's viewing range.
Innovation Solution
A three-dimensional image capturing device with an adjustable mechanism between the two lens modules, allowing the lens interval to be adjusted based on the capturing interval, enabling the device to capture images at various distances by using a processing apparatus to control the motorized mechanism and determine the optimal lens interval.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the lens interval is fixed to simulate human eye distance, then the device can provide a natural stereoscopic viewing experience, but the shooting range is limited to a fixed distance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the lens interval adjustable rather than fixed. The adjustable mechanism allows the distance between the two lens modules to be changed dynamically, enabling the device to adapt to different shooting distances and scenarios while maintaining optimal stereoscopic effect for each range.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by varying the lens interval parameter according to different capturing distances. The processing apparatus determines the appropriate lens interval based on the capturing distance, and the adjustable mechanism executes the parameter change to optimize both viewing experience and shooting range.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the lens interval is adjusted to expand shooting range, then the device can capture images at various distances, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical adjustment mechanisms with a motorized driving system. The driving motor, controlled by the processing apparatus, automatically adjusts the lens interval based on captured distance information, simplifying the control process while enabling precise adjustment without requiring complex manual mechanical structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by having the processing apparatus automatically determine the optimal lens interval based on the capturing distance, and the driving motor autonomously executing the adjustment. This reduces the need for manual intervention and complex control interfaces, making the complexity management more efficient.
