Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a preset fixed encoding parameter is used to encode prediction residual, then the encoding process is simple, but encoding redundancy increases and encoding efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveencoding process simplicityVSAvoidencoding efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from a fixed encoding parameter to an adaptive parameter that varies based on the size of the point cloud block. The encoding parameter is dynamically determined according to the actual data characteristics, allowing the system to optimize encoding efficiency for different block sizes while maintaining implementation feasibility through standardized adaptation rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the encoding parameter based on the point cloud block size. Different block sizes correspond to different encoding parameters, which are selected adaptively during the encoding process. This parameter adaptation reduces encoding redundancy and improves encoding efficiency without significantly complicating the overall encoding process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If a preset fixed encoding parameter is used, then the device complexity is low, but encoding redundancy increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by adapting the encoding parameter to the point cloud block size, which reduces encoding redundancy. The adaptation follows predefined rules that map block sizes to appropriate encoding parameters, maintaining relatively low device complexity while significantly reducing the loss of information during encoding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by using the actual point cloud block size information to adjust the encoding parameter. This feedback mechanism allows the encoding system to optimize its performance based on real data characteristics, reducing redundancy without requiring overly complex decision-making logic or additional hardware.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
