Solution Overview

Problem

Existing three-dimensional reconstruction methods using depth cameras and rotating motors have limited depth range and accuracy, particularly in open environments, leading to significant depth errors and unsuitable performance in outdoor scenes.

Innovation Solution

A data acquisition device with a rotation module, first and second ranging modules, and an image acquisition module, where the first ranging module is a single-line laser radar and the second ranging module is high-precision, allowing for omnidirectional data collection and error correction using perpendicular directions and synchronized data processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If a plurality of sensors are arranged in a vehicle to acquire comprehensive data, then the comprehensiveness of acquired data is improved, but the cost and device complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensiveness of acquired dataVSAvoidnumber of sensors
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The single sensor unit is designed to perform multiple functions: acquiring both image data and sensor data (acceleration, angular velocity, pressure, temperature) simultaneously. This multi-functional sensor replaces what would traditionally require multiple separate sensors, reducing system complexity while maintaining comprehensive data acquisition capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If sensor data is used to correct image data, then the accuracy of acquired data is improved, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of acquired dataVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring both image data and sensor data simultaneously at the same timestamp, and pre-establishes the temporal correspondence between them. This preliminary synchronization enables faster processing during correction operations, as the data alignment is already done before the actual correction algorithm is applied

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If image data and sensor data are acquired simultaneously, then the temporal correspondence between data is improved, but the data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemporal correspondence between dataVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The data processing is segmented into distinct modules: image data processing, sensor data processing, temporal correspondence verification, and correction application. Each module handles a specific aspect of the data fusion, making the overall complex process more manageable and systematic

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
