Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If traditional image processing methods are used, then the processing speed is fast, but the content richness of the generated effect image is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent richnessVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The image processing is divided into multiple stages: edge detection to identify target regions, graphic patch generation to create effect elements, and composite image generation to combine them. This segmentation allows complex content-rich effects to be achieved through modular processing steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Graphic patches are pre-generated and stored in a library before the actual image processing. These pre-prepared effect elements (snowflakes, stars, hearts, etc.) are then selectively applied to detected edges, avoiding the need to generate effects in real-time and reducing processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If simple effect generation is used, then the processing complexity is low, but the display effect and diversity of the image is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffect diversityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Different graphic patches with distinct visual characteristics are applied to different edge regions of the image. The system selects and applies appropriate effect elements based on the local characteristics of each edge, creating diverse and adaptive visual effects throughout the image rather than applying a uniform effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple types of graphic patches (different shapes, sizes, and visual styles) are combined in a single image processing operation. The composite image generation module integrates various effect elements with the original image, creating rich and diverse visual outcomes through composition of multiple graphical components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Measurement precision

If precise edge detection and patch screening are performed, then the accuracy of effect placement is improved, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveedge detection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of performing complex real-time analysis for each edge detection and patch matching operation, the system uses pre-detected edge information and pre-generated graphic patches. The screening process compares edge characteristics with stored patch templates, significantly reducing computation time while maintaining accurate placement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system adjusts detection parameters and screening criteria to optimize the balance between accuracy and speed. By tuning the sensitivity of edge detection and the matching thresholds for graphic patches, the system achieves satisfactory precision without excessive processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
