Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional image processing techniques are used to extract geometrical information, then image registration can be performed, but the operation complexity and learning level required increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically extracts edge images and generates master models without requiring operators to manually define extraction parameters or conditions. The automated edge extraction and master model generation processes perform self-service operations, eliminating the need for complex manual configuration while maintaining registration accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter extraction approach from manual specification to automated detection. By transforming the problem into automated edge detection and master model generation, the system maintains high registration accuracy while significantly reducing operational complexity and learning requirements.
2Productivity
If automated edge extraction is used to create master models, then extraction speed improves, but the quality and relevance of extracted geometrical information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the extracted edge images and master models are validated and refined through iterative processes. The automated extraction is supplemented by verification steps that ensure the quality and relevance of extracted geometrical information, maintaining both speed and precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary automated edge extraction to create initial master models quickly, then applies refinement processes to ensure quality. This preliminary action approach allows for fast extraction while maintaining precision through subsequent validation and refinement steps.
