Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the image processing device performs high-quality image processing operations, then the image quality is improved, but the calculation amount increases leading to overload and resource waste
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of bit number for calculation operations. By determining the maximum bit number based on the output signal bit number and performing calculations with this limited precision, the device reduces calculation complexity while maintaining sufficient image quality. This parameter change allows high-quality image processing without excessive calculation load.
2Measurement precision
If the calculation amount of the image processing device is increased, then the image processing quality is improved, but the processing speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by limiting the bit number used in calculation operations to a maximum value determined from the output signal requirements. This reduces the computational complexity of each operation while maintaining sufficient precision for high-quality image processing, thereby improving processing speed without sacrificing image quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the necessary number of bits for calculation based on the output signal requirements. By determining the maximum bit number needed and using only that many bits for intermediate calculations, the device eliminates unnecessary computational overhead while preserving the quality required for the final output.
3Loss of energy
If the bit number of the output signal is limited, then resource waste is prevented, but the calculation precision may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the parameter of bit number by setting the maximum calculation bit number based on the output signal bit number. This ensures that calculations use precisely the right amount of precision needed for the output, avoiding both resource waste from excessive precision and quality loss from insufficient precision.
