  • Publication number: 20200169706
    Abstract: A projection control apparatus for controlling projection performed using projectors is disclosed. The control apparatus, for each of the projectors, detects a projection area, being on a projection surface, in which an optical image is projected, based on a captured image of the projection surface. The control apparatus then causes an indicator indicating a target projection area for one of the projectors to be displayed by one or more other projectors. The control apparatus finally determines a projector that is to project the indicator from among the one or more other projectors based on a detection result of the detection.

  • Patent number: 10663844
    Abstract: A projection control apparatus that controls projection using a plurality of projection devices that project optical images onto a projection plane. The projection control apparatus obtains a projected area of each of the plurality of projection devices on the basis of an image obtained by capturing the projection plane. The projection control apparatus then executes a first adjustment process of adjusting the projected area of each projection device so as to cause the projected areas of other projection devices, among the plurality of projection devices, that are not a reference projection device, to correspond to the projected area of the reference projection device. The projection control apparatus cancels geometric correction applied in the other projection devices before starting the first adjustment process and does not cancel geometric correction applied in the reference projection device before starting the first adjustment process.
