Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If physical site visiting is required to view space information, then information accuracy is improved, but time consumption and effort increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a three-dimensional virtual copy of the physical space by processing panoramic images. This virtual model replicates the spatial structure, wall lines, and layout information, allowing users to explore and understand the space online without physically visiting the site, thus resolving the contradiction between information accuracy and time consumption
2Ease of operation
If three-dimensional model construction is implemented, then online space exploration capability is improved, but technical complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex spatial modeling task into distinct modules: panoramic image acquisition, wall line determination based on Manhattan-World structural features, and three-dimensional model construction. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall system implementation while enabling effective online space exploration
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces wall line determination as an intermediary step that bridges panoramic images and three-dimensional models. By extracting wall lines and their spatial relationships from images and using Manhattan-World structural constraints, the system creates a simplified representation that facilitates accurate 3D reconstruction without requiring complex direct mapping algorithms
