Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If traditional methods are used to generate 3D models from 2D images, then the process can be completed, but the accuracy is insufficient and the cost is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improve3D model accuracyVSAvoidrealization cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by using the 2D image itself to provide supervisory signals for 3D model generation. The symmetric conversion module generates symmetric 2D features from the input 2D image, which then serve as supervision for the 3D reconstruction process, eliminating the need for external ground truth data or complex annotation systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback through the symmetric conversion module that generates supervisory signals from the input 2D image. These symmetric 2D features are fed back into the 3D model generation process to guide and correct the reconstruction, creating a self-correcting system that improves accuracy without requiring additional data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Manufacturing precision

If extensive data learning is performed to improve 3D model generation, then the model accuracy improves, but the time required and computational cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improve3D model accuracyVSAvoiddata learning time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by generating its own supervisory signals from the input 2D image through the symmetric conversion module. This eliminates the need for extensive pre-training on large datasets, as the model learns from the symmetric features generated during the reconstruction process itself

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The symmetric conversion module performs preliminary action by pre-computing symmetric 2D features from the input image before the main 3D reconstruction process. This preliminary feature extraction and symmetric feature generation reduces the computational burden during the actual model generation, saving time and resources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
