Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a virtual algorithm is used to raise physical resolution to virtual resolution, then display resolution is improved, but color aliasing and sawtooth shapes appear at image edges

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidcolor aliasing and sawtooth shapes
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different processing strategies to different regions of the image. Sharp borders are detected and processed differently from non-sharp regions, with specific subpixel arrangement patterns applied locally based on the detected edge characteristics, thereby reducing color aliasing at edges while maintaining high resolution in other areas

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adjusts subpixel arrangement parameters and filtering parameters based on local image characteristics. By changing the virtual pixel generation parameters dynamically according to edge detection results, the algorithm optimizes resolution enhancement while minimizing artifacts like color aliasing and sawtooth shapes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If practical pixel arrangement is converted to virtual pixels for evaluation, then algorithm evaluation capability is improved, but correspondence between practical and virtual pixels becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealgorithm evaluation capabilityVSAvoidpixel correspondence complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a human eye model as an intermediary between practical pixels and virtual pixels. This model simulates human visual perception and provides a standardized method to map practical pixel arrangements to virtual pixel representations, simplifying the evaluation process while maintaining accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a virtual copy of the practical pixel arrangement through the human eye model. By generating virtual pixels that represent how human eyes would perceive the practical arrangement, the system enables evaluation without directly dealing with the complex one-to-one correspondence between practical and virtual pixels

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
