    Abstract: A method for automatically detecting a projector configuration and a projection system are provided. First, multiple projectors are searched in a network domain, and each projector is correspondingly equipped with an imaging apparatus. Next, the projectors are driven to project, and the imaging apparatuses are driven to capture images. Afterwards, the projectors are grouped based on one or more projected ranges comprised in an imaging range of the imaging apparatus corresponding to each projector. A configuration relationship of the projected ranges of the projectors in the same group is determined for overlapping areas between the projected ranges of the projectors grouped in the same group. The method for automatically detecting the projector configuration and the projection system proposed by the disclosure can automatically detect the actual configuration relationship of the projectors.
