Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual selection and control of photographing objects is used, then the operation flexibility is maintained, but the control accuracy and image quality deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The UAV system performs automatic object identification and self-adjustment of flight conditions. The onboard processor automatically detects photographing objects in captured images and adjusts flight parameters without manual intervention, enabling the system to serve itself in the photographing process while maintaining high control accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The system captures images, processes them to identify photographing objects, and uses this feedback to automatically adjust flight conditions. This closed-loop feedback mechanism continuously optimizes the photographing process by using image analysis results to guide subsequent flight adjustments, thereby improving control accuracy
2Measurement precision
If automatic object identification and flight adjustment is implemented, then control accuracy and image quality improve, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The UAV system integrates multiple functions into a unified platform: it performs both flight control and image processing, object identification, and automatic flight adjustment using its onboard processor. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated systems, managing complexity while achieving automatic operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the flight control system and image processing system into an integrated platform where the same processor handles both tasks. By merging these functions into a single system rather than using separate independent systems, the overall device complexity is managed while achieving automatic object identification and flight adjustment
3Ease of operation
If manual photographing control is used, then the operation simplicity is maintained, but the productivity and efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously captures images and continuously processes them to identify photographing objects, maintaining an uninterrupted workflow. This continuous operation eliminates the pauses and manual intervention steps inherent in traditional methods, thereby improving photographing efficiency and productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The UAV automatically identifies photographing objects and adjusts its flight path without requiring manual control input. This self-service capability eliminates the time-consuming manual selection and control processes, significantly improving photographing efficiency while maintaining operational simplicity
