Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If three-dimensional model data is generated from scan images without integrating attribute information, then the generation process is simple and fast, but the realism and detail of the virtual space image are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges three-dimensional model data with attribute information (such as material properties, color, texture) to create a comprehensive virtual space representation. This combination allows the system to generate highly realistic images while maintaining the benefits of structured data processing, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and realism.
Solution Approach 2:
The image generation apparatus is designed to handle multiple types of data (scan images, three-dimensional model data, and attribute information) and integrate them into a unified virtual space representation. This multi-functional capability enables the system to achieve high realism without requiring separate specialized processes for each data type.
2Manufacturing precision
If attribute information is integrated with three-dimensional model data, then the virtual space image achieves high realism, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image generation process into distinct stages: scanning, three-dimensional model generation, attribute information integration, and final image rendering. This segmentation allows each stage to be optimized independently, improving accuracy where needed while maintaining overall processing efficiency by avoiding unnecessary computations in earlier stages.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary processing of scan images to generate three-dimensional model data before integrating attribute information. This preliminary action prepares the data structure in advance, reducing the computational burden during the final integration stage and thereby decreasing overall processing time while maintaining high accuracy.
3Measurement precision
If multiple scan images from different angles are processed to generate three-dimensional model data, then the virtual space representation becomes accurate, but the scanning time and data processing volume increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts essential geometric and surface information from multiple scan images to generate three-dimensional model data, while filtering out redundant information. This extraction process maintains measurement precision by capturing only the necessary data features, thereby reducing the overall data volume while preserving accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transforms two-dimensional scan images into three-dimensional model data through dimensional conversion. This dimensional change consolidates multiple image data points into a compact three-dimensional representation, significantly reducing the effective data volume while maintaining or improving measurement precision through the added spatial dimension.
