Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional image synthesis processes are used on subjects with few features, then the image superimposition lacks accurate reference points, but adding artificial reference points increases device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The discharge apparatus pre-forms a sprayed symbol on the subject before image capture. This preliminary action creates the reference point needed for accurate image superimposition, allowing the system to overcome the lack of natural features on the subject without requiring complex post-processing or multiple capture attempts
Solution Approach 2:
The sprayed symbol acts as an intermediary element between the discharge apparatus and the image synthesis system. It serves as a artificial reference point that bridges the gap caused by the subject's insufficient natural features, enabling accurate image alignment without directly modifying the image processing algorithms
2Reliability
If multiple images are captured for synthesis, then the connectivity between images becomes difficult to evaluate, but improving connectivity evaluation requires additional processing steps
Solution Approach 1:
The connectivity evaluation portion analyzes the superimposed images and provides feedback on the quality of image connectivity. This feedback mechanism allows the system to assess whether the image synthesis is successful and to make adjustments if needed, improving reliability through iterative evaluation
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual or complex mechanical evaluation of image connectivity with automated image processing algorithms. The connectivity evaluation portion uses computational methods to assess image alignment and connectivity, substituting physical evaluation processes with efficient digital analysis
3Manufacturing precision
If a sprayed symbol is used as reference point, then image superimposition accuracy improves, but the discharge apparatus adds to the overall system complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The discharge apparatus is integrated into the unmanned aerial vehicle system to perform multiple functions: it not only forms sprayed symbols for reference but can also perform other tasks such as marking or material deposition. This multi-functionality justifies the added complexity by providing versatile capabilities beyond just image superimposition support
