    Abstract: A projection system and a method for selecting an image capturing number for image blending are provided. Multiple projection devices are driven one-by-one to project a pattern; multiple image capturing devices are driven to capture the pattern projected by each projection device, so as to obtain multiple image capturing results corresponding to the image capturing devices. Finally, at least one of the image capturing devices is selected to serve as an image capturing source for image blending based on the image capturing results. An image capturing range is identified through projected patterns, and an effective range is calculated and then selected for use, which is used for calculations required for automatic blending, so as to avoid a problem of being unable to maintain blending and merging due to environmental influences or failure of the image capturing device when performing image recognition and calculation required for automatic blending and merging.
