Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current synthetic imaging display systems face limitations in rendering dynamic 3D images due to inadequate resolution and fixed pixel counts, leading to low image display frequencies and jerky visuals, which hinder precise and fluid representation of objects in fields like computer-aided design and remote interventions.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that encode 3D synthetic images using index values representative of content, allowing for spatial segmentation and efficient data processing, which reduces the volume of dynamic information and enhances display fluidity by anticipating external events and optimizing resource allocation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the number of image elements Nb is increased to improve representation quality, then the volume of information to be displayed increases, but the image display frequency Fi decreases causing jerky visuals
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image elements into multiple pages, where each page contains a subset of the total image elements. This segmentation allows the system to process and display pages sequentially rather than all elements simultaneously, reducing the information volume that must be handled at any one time while maintaining complete representation across all pages.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-calculating and storing transformation matrices and page data structures before actual display. The system prepares the entire set of image elements, organizes them into pages with associated transformation matrices, and stores this structured data in advance, enabling rapid retrieval and display without real-time computation overhead.
2Manufacturing precision
If the display resolution is increased to improve image quality, then the number of pixels Np must be increased, but the ratio Np/Nb decreases leading to inadequate display coverage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a temporal dimension by organizing image elements across multiple pages that are displayed sequentially. This allows the system to maintain high display resolution for each page while accommodating a large total number of image elements through time-based multiplexing, effectively adding a fourth dimension (time) to the spatial display problem.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic page selection and transformation based on viewing direction and position. The system dynamically determines which page to display based on the current virtual camera position and orientation, applying appropriate transformation matrices to render the correct subset of image elements at high resolution, thereby adapting the display content to the observer's perspective.
3Productivity
If computational resources are increased to process more image elements, then the processing speed improves, but the system complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the computational task by dividing image elements into pages and processing them independently. Each page can be processed, stored, and rendered separately, allowing the use of simpler computational resources for each individual page while maintaining the capability to handle large numbers of total image elements through sequential processing of multiple pages.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter organization from individual image element processing to page-based batch processing. By transforming the data structure to include page-level aggregation with associated transformation matrices, the system optimizes computational efficiency and reduces memory access overhead, achieving faster processing without proportionally increasing hardware complexity.
