Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If imaging is performed only in virtual space using virtual cameras, then virtual object data can be displayed, but the images lack realism and do not resemble real spaces
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges virtual space imaging with real space imaging by combining virtual camera data with real camera data. The image generation unit integrates the virtual image (from virtual camera) and real image (from real camera) to create composite images that maintain both virtual adaptability and real-space realism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an image generation unit as an intermediary that processes both virtual and real camera data. This intermediary component synthesizes the two data sources into composite images that achieve realism while preserving virtual space capabilities.
2Manufacturing precision
If real subject data is acquired and associated with virtual object data, then image realism improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The image generation unit serves multiple functions: it processes virtual camera data, real camera data, and synthesizes composite images. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require separate specialized systems, managing complexity while achieving realism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses real camera data as a copy of real subject information to enhance virtual images. By acquiring real subject data through real cameras and associating it with virtual object data, the system creates realistic composite images without requiring complex direct real-world connections for each virtual scene.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple real subject images are combined to generate composite images, then image quality and realism improve, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system combines multiple real subject images selectively based on the virtual camera's field of view and the specific virtual scene requirements. Rather than processing all available real images, the image generation unit performs partial action by selecting and combining only the relevant real subject images needed for each composite image, reducing processing time while maintaining quality.
