Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual operation and trial-and-error processes are used for movement and imaging of mobile bodies, then flexibility and adaptability are maintained, but time consumption and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by generating predicted images before actual movement and imaging operations. The image generation unit creates simulated images showing what the mobile body will capture at planned positions, allowing operators to verify imaging conditions and adjust plans in advance, thereby eliminating trial-and-error processes and reducing time consumption.
2Measurement precision
If predicted image generation is implemented for plan information, then accuracy and quality of planning are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses copying by generating simulated predicted images that replicate what the mobile body's imaging device will actually capture. The image generation unit creates virtual copies of real images based on map data and planned positions, allowing accurate verification of imaging conditions without requiring actual field operations, thus improving accuracy while keeping the system relatively simple.
3Manufacturing precision
If comprehensive plan information is generated including predicted images, then imaging quality is ensured, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary image generation and verification before actual imaging operations. By creating predicted images in advance based on map data and planned mobile body positions, the system allows operators to verify imaging quality, check coverage areas, and adjust plans beforehand, ensuring high imaging quality while actually reducing total processing time by avoiding rework.
