Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism by calculating the distance between corresponding line stripes in adjacent cycles and comparing it with the preset distance to determine whether a mismatch has occurred. This feedback loop enables the system to detect and correct potential matching errors without increasing overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by presetting the distance between corresponding line stripes in adjacent cycles before the actual three-dimensional reconstruction process. This pre-established reference distance enables rapid mismatch detection during processing without requiring complex real-time calculations

Inventive Principle:
