  • Patent number: 10477167
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprise a correction unit configured to generate a corrected image from an input image using a correction value; an image processing unit configured to generate a first image, in which a first pattern for measuring an ambient light distribution is incorporated into the input image or the corrected image, and a second image that is different from the first image; an acquisition unit configured to acquire an ambient light distribution based on captured images of a region in which the first image and the second image are displayed while the first image and the second image are switched therebetween in the same frame; and a correction value calculation unit configured to calculate the correction value based on an ambient light distribution acquired by the acquisition unit.

  • Patent number: 10148924
    Abstract: Each projection apparatus in a multi-projection system has a liquid crystal panel, a driving circuit configured to perform PWM control of the liquid crystal panel, and a projection image processing unit configured to perform edge blending processing to perform compositing display by each projection apparatus and processing to change gain properties of the edge blending processing by each projection apparatus. Synchronization of each projection apparatus is maintained by a synchronization circuit. Therefore, a sum of image gain in a region of image compositing by each projection apparatus is 1, and the position and image gain properties of the compositing region are changed for each frame, so the position of image deterioration changes for each frame.
