Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If existing image processing methods are used to generate texture maps, then the generation process is simple, but the accuracy of texture map representation is poor due to color bias and inadequate highlight analysis
Solution Approach 1:
The photographing system is segmented into multiple independent light sources positioned at different angles (front, back, left, right, top, bottom), allowing separate control of lighting conditions for different material properties. This segmentation enables accurate capture of highlights, shadows, and color information under controlled lighting, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
A color chart is introduced as an intermediary element to establish a reference for color calibration. By photographing the color chart under each lighting condition and using it to correct the object images, the system eliminates color bias and achieves accurate color representation in the generated texture maps.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multi-angle lighting photographing is implemented, then comprehensive texture maps suitable for PBR are generated, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The multi-angle lighting system is designed to generate all necessary texture map types (base color, normal, metallic, roughness, transparency) using a unified photographing framework. Each light source serves multiple functions by contributing to different texture map generations, making the system universally applicable for PBR rendering while managing complexity through functional integration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes lighting parameters (angle, intensity, direction) systematically to capture different material properties. By varying these parameters across multiple photographs with different lighting conditions, the system extracts comprehensive texture information suitable for PBR rendering without requiring complex specialized equipment for each texture type.
3Measurement precision
If color correction is applied to eliminate object color influence, then roughness and metallic calculations are enhanced, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Color correction is performed as a preliminary step before generating roughness and metallic maps. By pre-calculating correction factors from color chart photographs and applying them to object images, the system eliminates color bias in advance, enabling accurate subsequent calculations of material properties without requiring complex real-time processing during texture map generation.
