Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If three-dimensional shape data is generated based on a plurality of images, then three-dimensional shape information can be obtained, but the resolution and data size of the generated image data may not be appropriate for different apparatuses or purposes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image data into multiple types (first image data and second image data) with different characteristics. The first image data is generated for high-quality rendering while the second image data is generated for compact storage and different purposes. This segmentation allows each data type to be optimized for specific apparatuses and purposes, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes parameters such as resolution, compression rate, and data format when generating image data for different purposes. By adjusting these parameters, the system can generate image data with appropriate resolution for high-quality rendering while also creating compressed versions for compact storage and various applications, thus achieving both adaptability and precision.
2Manufacturing precision
If image data is generated with high resolution for quality, then rendering quality is improved, but data size increases making it unsuitable for certain apparatuses or purposes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the image data into segments with different quality levels. High-resolution first image data is generated for quality-critical applications, while compressed second image data is generated for applications requiring compact storage. This segmentation allows the system to provide high rendering quality when needed without forcing large data sizes onto all apparatuses.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically changes data parameters including resolution and compression rate based on the target apparatus and purpose. For high-quality rendering requirements, high resolution is used; for storage-constrained apparatuses, compressed data with lower quality is used. This parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction between rendering quality and data size.
3Device complexity
If a single type of image data is generated, then processing is simplified, but flexibility for different apparatuses and purposes is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image generation process into multiple paths that produce different data types. Despite this segmentation, the overall processing architecture remains relatively simple by using standardized generation pipelines for each data type. This allows the system to maintain processing simplicity while achieving flexibility through the segmented output options.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a multi-functional image generation system where a single capturing apparatus can generate multiple types of image data (first and second image data) for different purposes. This universality allows one system to serve multiple functions and apparatus types without requiring separate dedicated systems for each purpose, thus maintaining simplicity while enhancing adaptability.
