  • Publication number: 20200389632
    Abstract: A projection calibration system and a projection calibration method thereof are provided. A projection device projects test pictures onto a projection screen. Each test picture includes a pattern. A plurality of photosensitive elements are disposed on a frame of the projection screen and measure brightness sensing information when the projection device projects each test picture. In response to the pattern being changed from a first position in a first test picture to a second position in a second test picture, the brightness sensing information is changed from a first sensing value to a second sensing value. In response to the brightness sensing information being changed from the first sensing value to the second sensing value, a computing device determines picture boundary parameters according to the first position. The projection device performs image scaling according to the picture boundary parameters to project a calibrated picture aligned with the frame.
