Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If interpolation processing is performed to increase image resolution, then the resolution requirement is met, but image quality deteriorates with artifacts appearing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting pixel values through second derivative calculations. The method modifies the initial pixel values obtained from interpolation by computing second derivatives and comparing candidate pixel values, thereby optimizing the interpolated image to reduce artifacts while maintaining enhanced resolution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms by calculating second derivatives of pixel values and using these calculations to iteratively adjust candidate pixel values. The process compares differences between second derivatives of candidate values and original pixel values, feeding this information back to select the optimal pixel value that minimizes artifacts.
2Speed
If simple interpolation is used to increase resolution, then processing speed is maintained, but image continuity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enhances image continuity through parameter changes by calculating second derivatives and adjusting pixel values based on these calculations. This approach improves the smoothness and continuity of the interpolated image compared to simple interpolation methods, while maintaining reasonable processing efficiency through optimized calculation procedures.
