Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If existing 360° panoramic image generation technology is used, then the generation process is simple, but the image resolution is low and local realism is poor

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveimage resolution and local realismVSAvoidgeneration process complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The panoramic image generation process is divided into multiple stages: first generating a low-resolution panoramic image, then selectively redrawing specific regions (such as regions of interest or low-quality areas) to improve local realism. This segmentation allows the system to apply complex processing only where needed, improving overall image quality while controlling computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different processing qualities to different regions of the panoramic image. High-resolution detailed redrawing is applied to specific regions that require enhanced local realism, while other regions maintain their original quality. This local quality approach optimizes the balance between image fidelity and processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If high-resolution panoramic images are generated directly, then image quality is improved, but computational resources and processing time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveimage resolutionVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system first generates a low-resolution panoramic image as a preliminary step before applying any redrawing or enhancement. This preliminary action establishes a base image that requires minimal computational resources to create, and subsequent high-resolution processing is applied only to specific regions rather than the entire image, significantly reducing overall computational consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of applying full high-resolution processing to the entire panoramic image, the system applies redrawing and enhancement operations only to partial regions that benefit most from improved quality. This partial action approach achieves the necessary image quality improvement while avoiding the excessive computational cost of processing the complete high-resolution image.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a panoramic image generation method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. A panoramic image generation method includes: generating a first panoramic image with a first resolution based on image description text; and redrawing and zooming in the first panoramic image, and adding an image detail into the first panoramic image, to obtain a second panoramic image with a second resolution. The first resolution is smaller than the second resolution.
