Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional imaging systems face challenges in accurately capturing images for modeling subjects, particularly in ensuring high shooting accuracy and reducing data load, which affects the quality of three-dimensional modeling and texture representation.
Innovation Solution
The imaging apparatus includes an image sensor, a controller, and an output interface that guides the user through a scan shooting operation by generating a subject map and providing shooting guide information, allowing multiple images to be captured with varying qualities based on predetermined and additional settings, ensuring successful image acquisition and reducing unnecessary data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple images are captured with high quality settings for accurate subject modeling, then the modeling precision is improved, but the data load and processing complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating image capture strategies for different regions of the subject. The controller identifies specific shooting portions that require additional attention and captures images with different settings (additional image shooting) only for those regions, while using standard settings for other areas. This selective approach maintains high modeling precision for critical regions while reducing overall data load.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by performing additional image shooting only for specific shooting portions where the feature amount is below the threshold, rather than uniformly increasing image quality across the entire subject. This partial application of enhanced capture settings optimizes the balance between modeling accuracy and data volume.
2Measurement precision
If additional image shooting is performed for specific portions with insufficient feature amount, then the modeling accuracy is improved, but the shooting operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies self-service by automatically analyzing the feature amount of each shooting portion and autonomously determining which regions require additional image capture. The controller evaluates captured images, identifies portions with insufficient feature amounts, and triggers additional shooting only for those specific regions without requiring manual user intervention or complex operational decisions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the controller continuously evaluates the feature amount of captured images and uses this information to determine subsequent shooting actions. The system feeds back the analysis results to adjust the shooting strategy, performing additional captures only where needed based on real-time assessment of modeling requirements.
3Ease of operation
If the system provides comprehensive shooting guide information to users, then the ease of operation is improved, but the information processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and preparing shooting guide information based on the identified specific shooting portions before the user performs additional capture. The controller determines which regions need additional attention in advance and provides targeted guidance, rather than processing and presenting all possible shooting information simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the shooting guide information according to specific shooting portions that require additional attention. Instead of providing uniform comprehensive guidance for the entire subject, the system divides and presents targeted shooting guidance only for regions where feature amounts are insufficient, reducing the overall information processing load while maintaining ease of operation.
