Abstract: A projection arrangement is provided, comprising a light source (1), a light modulator (4), which is arranged following the light source (1) and onto which light from the light source (1) may be directed, said light being modulated by the light modulator (4) under the control of a control device (5) on the basis of predetermined image data, in order to generate an image, and projection optics (6) arranged following the light modulator (4) for projecting said image onto a projection surface (9), wherein the control device (5) comprises a control unit (15) and a correcting unit (16), said correcting unit (16) pre-distorting the predetermined image data such that a non-linear distortion caused by the projection optics (6) is compensated, and said control unit (15) controls the light modulator (4) by means of the pre-distorted image data.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for the correction of the visual depiction of image information on a projection surface, such as a projection wall, comprising a processor for the purpose of providing the image information, which is connected to a projector as well as a sensor unit for capturing image data, which can be captured by the processor and converted to correction data. According to the invention, the sensor unit consists of a color sensor and/or a sensor for capturing geometric image data, and is integrated into the projector.

Abstract: In a projection device with a matrix (50) located in an image plane for generating a video image, with optics (9) for projection of this video image on a screen and with a light source (3, 30) for illuminating the matrix (50), there is an arrangement by which the video image can be uniformly illuminated.

Abstract: A wide-angle objective for a picture-taking lens of an aerial mapping camera, consisting of 11 lenses and 14 glass-air surfaces, the first optical element of which after the center aperture on the picture side is a converging fluorspar or fluorspar-like lens. Due to the large refractive index difference between this lens and the following meniscus lens and due to the provision of a triple group of high refractive index on the object side before the center aperture, a high resolution, low residual distortion and minimal lateral chromatic aberration are achieved.
