Abstract: Disclosed is an image projection system for projecting pattern images onto a white three-dimensional object such as a sofa. A shadow box is provided for containing the white three-dimensional object comprising top, bottom, and side walls to surround the object. The inner faces of the side walls, rear wall, and the top facer of the bottom wall are painted black to absorb all light projected on it such that a white three dimensional object placed in the box reflects all the light projected into the box. A slide projection system is placed at a distance from the shadow box to project image patterns onto the three-dimensional object. The slides contained in the image projector are processed to scale and to match the area of illumination on the three dimensional object and also include a pattern identification number which is also projected onto the objects.
