Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If professional shooting equipment and methods are used to capture clear starry sky images, then image quality is improved, but device complexity and operation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses image synthesis to create a composite starry sky image by combining multiple captured images. This copying approach allows common electronic devices to achieve professional-quality starry sky images without requiring complex professional shooting equipment, as the system synthesizes the final image from multiple simpler captures rather than using a single complex setup
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary image processing including planet identification, brightness measurement, and synthesis algorithm preparation before final image generation. By pre-processing and pre-planning the shooting sequence and synthesis parameters, the system simplifies the overall operation for common devices while maintaining high image quality
2Manufacturing precision
If professional shooting equipment is used to capture clear starry sky images, then image quality is improved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic planet identification, automatic brightness measurement, and automatic image synthesis. The system performs these operations autonomously without requiring manual intervention for each step, making professional-quality starry sky shooting accessible to common electronic devices with simple user interaction
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors image quality metrics, planet positions, and brightness levels during the shooting process, automatically adjusting parameters to maintain optimal image quality while simplifying user operation
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple images are captured and synthesized to achieve clear starry sky images, then image quality is improved, but shooting time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs periodic capture of starry sky images at fixed time intervals, using a predetermined shooting sequence that optimizes the number of captures needed. This periodic approach allows the system to achieve sufficient image quality through synthesized combination of multiple images while controlling total shooting duration
4Manufacturing precision
If planet brightness is adjusted according to magnitude and time, then image realism is improved, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adjusts planet brightness by changing the brightness parameter based on astronomical magnitude data and time-based atmospheric conditions. This parameter adjustment approach achieves realistic planet appearance in synthesized starry sky images through controlled modification of brightness values rather than complex physical modifications
