  • Publication number: 20210058593
    Abstract: A projection device including a projection unit, an image capture device and a control unit is provided. The projection unit includes a light source. The projection unit is configured to project an image picture to a projection area. The image capture device is configured to obtain an image capture picture including the image picture in an image capture range. The image capture range is larger than the projection area. The control unit is coupled to the image capture device. The control unit is configured to determine, according to a picture variation value of the image capture picture, whether to adjust the brightness of the light source. In addition, a brightness adjusting method used for the projection device is also provided. According to the disclosure, the brightness of the light source of the projection device may be properly adjusted according to environmental factors.

  • Publication number: 20200280706
    Abstract: A projection system and a projection method are provided. The projection system includes a processing module, a projection module and a photographing module. The projection module is coupled to the processing module, and projects a first projection image including a first asymmetric graph. The photographing module is coupled to the processing module, and captures at least a part of the first projection image based on a photographing range, so as to output a first photographed image including at least one second asymmetric graph. The processing module analyzes the first photographed image to determine whether the at least one second asymmetric graph is consistent with a geometric configuration of the first asymmetric graph. The processing module determines an effective photographing area according to one of the at least one second asymmetric graph that is consistent with the geometric configuration of the first asymmetric graph in the first photographed image.

  • Publication number: 20200213565
    Abstract: A projection system and a projection method are provided. The projection system includes a processing module, a projection module and a photographing module. The projection module projects a first projection image based on a projection scope. The photographing module captures a part of the first projection image based on a photographing scope, so as to obtain a first photographic image. The part of the first projection image includes a plurality of first positioning grid points. The processing module analyzes the first photographic image, so as to obtain a plurality of first grid point coordinates. The processing module calculates a plurality of preset grid point coordinates corresponding to a plurality of preset positioning grid points in the whole projection scope one by one according to the first grid point coordinates. The processing module determines a projection result in the projection scope according to the preset grid point coordinates.

  • Patent number: 10594994
    Abstract: A projection system and a projection method are provided. A projector projects a correction image towards a projection screen. The correction image has a pattern, a portion of the pattern exceeds a frame of the projection screen, and the pattern includes strip regions. An image capturing device obtains a captured image towards the projection screen and transmits the captured image to a processor. The captured image has brightness information of the strip regions. The processor analyzes a brightness difference of the strip regions between the projection screen and the frame in the captured image, calculates a position of the frame according to the brightness difference, and performs calculations according to the position of the frame to obtain a coordinate conversion table. The projector performs a warping operation on the projected image according to the table and projects the warped projected image into the projection screen.
