Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If traditional image synthesis methods for a single view are used, then the process is simple, but spatial information is lost and image quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage synthesis qualityVSAvoidspatial information loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms 2D planar images into 3D spatial representations by generating images at multiple view angles. The view angle conversion network synthesizes virtual views from a single input image, effectively adding the dimensional aspect of viewing angle to recover spatial information that would otherwise be lost in single-view synthesis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates multiple copies of the object from different virtual viewpoints by generating synthesized images at various view angles. Instead of capturing multiple physical views, the system generates synthetic copies of the object appearance from angles not present in the original input, thereby reconstructing spatial relationships through virtual replication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Measurement precision

If traditional single view synthesis is used, then the method is simple, but three-dimensional feature identification becomes ineffective

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethree-dimensional feature identification accuracyVSAvoidsynthesis method complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary view angle conversion before three-dimensional feature analysis. By pre-generating multiple virtual views and constructing a view angle feature matrix, the system prepares comprehensive spatial information in advance, making subsequent 3D feature extraction more accurate and efficient rather than attempting to infer depth from a single view.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the representation parameters by converting images from a single fixed viewpoint to multiple dynamic viewpoints. The view angle conversion network modifies the angular parameters of image capture, generating a series of images with varying viewing angles that encode three-dimensional structural information in a way that facilitates accurate 3D feature identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

If images are synthesized from a single observation angle, then the process is straightforward, but image synthesis quality and efficiency are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies periodic action through the generative adversarial network's iterative training process. The GAN structure involves repeated cycles of generator creation and discriminator evaluation, where the view angle conversion network is trained through multiple epochs to progressively improve synthesis quality, achieving both high efficiency and quality through this periodic optimization process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

An image view angle conversion method includes: model training data are obtained, the model training data including planar images of a training object at a plurality of different view angles and labels corresponding to respective view angles, where the labels corresponding to the different view angles are different. A pre-designed generative adversarial network model is trained according to the model training data to obtain a view angle conversion network model. A planar image of a target object and labels corresponding to one or more expected view angles of the target object are input into the view angle conversion network model, so that the view angle conversion network model generates planar images of the target object at the expected view angles.
