Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing imaging systems struggle to maintain a moving object within the angle of view of the imaging apparatus during revolutions, leading to potential deviations and inaccurate tracking.
Innovation Solution
A control device and method that detect moving objects in captured images, acquire position information, and perform revolution control to ensure the object remains within the imaging range, even during revolution operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the imaging apparatus performs revolution control to track a moving object, then the object can be kept within the imaging range, but the detection and control process becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs detection and revolution control in parallel rather than sequentially. The detection unit continuously detects the moving object's position while the revolution control unit simultaneously adjusts the imaging apparatus orientation, eliminating the need to wait for sequential completion of each step and reducing overall control complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The detection unit continuously tracks the moving object throughout the revolution process, and the revolution control unit continuously adjusts the imaging apparatus orientation based on real-time detection results, ensuring uninterrupted tracking accuracy throughout the entire revolution operation
2Measurement precision
If the system waits for revolution control to complete before detecting the moving object, then detection accuracy may improve, but tracking responsiveness and speed decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The detection unit performs detection operations in advance and during the revolution process rather than waiting for completion. By continuously detecting the moving object's position throughout the revolution, the system maintains both high detection accuracy and fast tracking speed through overlapping execution of detection and control operations
3Device complexity
If the detection unit operates sequentially after revolution control, then system simplicity is maintained, but the moving object may deviate from the imaging range during revolution
Solution Approach 1:
The detection unit operates in parallel with the revolution control unit, performing detection before, during, and after the revolution completes. This preliminary and continuous detection ensures the moving object remains within the imaging range throughout the entire revolution process, maintaining tracking reliability without requiring complex sequential coordination
Solution Approach 2:
The detection and revolution control operations continue simultaneously throughout the process, ensuring uninterrupted monitoring and adjustment. This continuous parallel operation maintains reliable tracking of the moving object while keeping the control structure relatively simple through modular independent units operating concurrently
