Stereoscopic Image Display System for Container Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image display systems struggle to efficiently create a final product image when two-dimensional image data from customers is composited with three-dimensional shape data of containers, especially when a thin wrapping layer affects the color transparency, leading to difficulties in predicting changes in the composite image with adjustments to the image data.
Innovation Solution
The proposed image display system includes customer image storage, container data storage, and stereoscopic image creation means that superimpose first two-dimensional image data rendered in a single color and second two-dimensional image data rendered in multiple colors onto three-dimensional shape data, allowing for the creation of multiple stereoscopic images and enabling customers to select and adjust the images efficiently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If two-dimensional image data is composited with three-dimensional shape data of a container, then a stereoscopic image of the final product is created, but the color transparency of the underlying container is affected by a thin wrapping layer, making it difficult to predict changes in the composite image when adjusting the two-dimensional image data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the two-dimensional image data into multiple layers: a first two-dimensional image data layer representing the container body and a second two-dimensional image data layer representing the wrapping layer design. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of each layer's color and properties, enabling accurate prediction of composite image changes without the complexity of adjusting the entire composite at once.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimensional approach by creating a third stereoscopic image that superimposes the second two-dimensional image data (wrapping layer) onto the first stereoscopic image (container body). This additional dimension of visualization allows customers to see the exact final appearance with the wrapping layer applied, making color and design adjustments predictable and controllable.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple times of proofing are required to correct composite data, then the accuracy of the final product image can be improved, but the time and efficiency of the image composition process deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-separating the image data into container body and wrapping layer components, and pre-creating the first stereoscopic image with the container body. This preparation allows the wrapping layer to be independently designed and adjusted before final composition, so that corrections can be made in advance rather than requiring multiple proofing cycles after the complete composite is created.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a feedback mechanism by allowing customers to view the first stereoscopic image with the container body and the second two-dimensional image data with the wrapping layer design separately and together. This feedback loop enables real-time adjustment and prediction of color changes, eliminating the need for multiple proofing cycles by making the exact final appearance visible and adjustable during the design process.
3Reliability
If the underlying container color is transparently superimposed on the composite data, then the final product appearance is achieved, but the ability to grasp and correct color changes in the composite data deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the color information into distinct layers: the first two-dimensional image data contains the container body color, and the second two-dimensional image data contains the wrapping layer design. This segmentation preserves color information visibility by allowing each layer to be adjusted independently, so that color changes in the wrapping layer do not obscure the container body color, and vice versa.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a dimensional layer by creating a third stereoscopic image that combines the first stereoscopic image (container body) with the second two-dimensional image data (wrapping layer). This additional dimension preserves color information visibility by displaying the layered structure separately, allowing customers to grasp the exact color changes and adjustments needed without the confusion of transparent superposition.
