Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If current methods for analyzing imaging quality are used, then the analysis process is simple, but the accuracy of imaging quality assessment is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing transmittance distribution functions for various aperture ratios before actual imaging quality analysis. When analyzing, the system directly retrieves the appropriate pre-calculated function based on the pixel unit's aperture ratio, avoiding complex real-time calculations and significantly improving assessment accuracy without adding operational complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by establishing a relationship between aperture ratio parameters and transmittance distribution functions. By changing the aperture ratio parameter input, the system automatically selects or calculates the corresponding transmittance distribution function, enabling accurate imaging quality assessment that accounts for varying pixel structures through systematic parameter variation
2Measurement precision
If the aperture ratio influence is not considered, then the analysis method is straightforward, but the assessment results are inaccurate for spatial light modulators with varying pixel configurations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent systematically addresses aperture ratio variations by establishing a parameter mapping between different aperture ratios and their corresponding transmittance distribution functions. The method detects and measures aperture ratio as a key parameter and uses it to select or calculate the appropriate transmittance function, ensuring accurate imaging quality assessment for various pixel unit configurations through structured parameter management
