Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional three-dimensional model generation techniques are used, then complete interactive image generation is achieved, but resource consumption and cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses two-dimensional image copies and projections instead of generating complete three-dimensional models. By creating front, back, left, right, top, and bottom view images from the original image, the system achieves interactive manipulation capabilities without the resource-intensive process of full 3D model generation. This copying approach maintains versatility while significantly reducing computational resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the three-dimensional space into six orthogonal viewing directions (front, back, left, right, top, bottom). Each direction generates a separate two-dimensional view image, allowing interactive manipulation to be achieved through coordinated transformation of these segmented views rather than through a complete 3D model, thereby reducing resource consumption.
2Adaptability or versatility
If complete three-dimensional models are generated, then full interactive capabilities are provided, but processing time and computational cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of time-consuming 3D model reconstruction, the system creates multiple two-dimensional view copies by projecting the original image onto different planes. These copied views can be interactively manipulated and transformed much faster than generating and processing complete three-dimensional models, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining interactive functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the essential viewing information needed for interactive manipulation by generating six orthogonal projections, rather than extracting and processing the complete three-dimensional geometric data. This extraction of necessary information alone reduces computational overhead and processing time.
3Manufacturing precision
If traditional methods are used, then accurate three-dimensional representation is achieved, but complexity and cost become prohibitive
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates accurate enough three-dimensional representations by generating coordinated two-dimensional view copies rather than complete 3D models. This copying method achieves sufficient precision for interactive manipulation purposes while avoiding the complexity of full three-dimensional modeling systems, including mesh generation, texture mapping, and geometric reconstruction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex mechanical three-dimensional modeling systems with a computational image processing approach. By using coordinate transformation and image projection algorithms, the system achieves three-dimensional interactive capabilities through software-based image manipulation rather than through complex 3D modeling machinery, reducing overall system complexity.
