Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If manual three-dimensional modeling software is used to establish a three-dimensional model, then the model can be accurately constructed, but the process is very time-consuming and requires high professional skills
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses two-dimensional video images as copies of the three-dimensional indoor scene. By extracting feature points from these 2D video frames and using structure-from-motion (SFM) algorithms, the system reconstructs the 3D model without requiring manual modeling, thus reducing time consumption while maintaining accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical modeling process with automated computer vision algorithms. Instead of operators manually creating 3D models using software like 3dsMax, the system automatically processes video data through feature extraction, matching, and 3D reconstruction algorithms
2Measurement precision
If 3D scanning equipment is used to acquire three-dimensional data, then the data acquisition is direct and accurate, but the equipment cost is too high and the process is cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces expensive, specialized 3D scanning equipment with ordinary video recording devices that are widely available. The system uses standard 2D video cameras to capture sufficient data for 3D reconstruction, making the technology accessible to the general public without requiring specialized equipment
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the 3D modeling capability universal by using ordinary video cameras that everyone possesses rather than specialized scanning equipment. The same video data can be used for multiple purposes including 3D reconstruction, panoramic rendering, and spatial analysis
3Manufacturing precision
If image-based modeling method is used with parallax principle, then the three-dimensional information can be calculated, but a large number of photographs must be taken with specific requirements for clarity, coverage and overlap
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from static photograph-based modeling to dynamic video-based modeling. By using continuous video footage, the system captures the indoor scene from multiple angles and positions automatically during camera movement, eliminating the need for manual positioning and multiple discrete photographs with specific overlap requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses continuous video recording to capture the indoor environment, ensuring that useful data is collected continuously as the camera moves through the space. This continuous capture method ensures adequate coverage and overlap without requiring manual intervention to take multiple discrete photographs
