  • Patent number: 11812204
    Abstract: An artifact upon imaging degrades sensing accuracy of a projection image. An information processing device that develops a captured image thus performs interpolation processing using interpolation direction information according to a test pattern projected by a projection device. In other words, the interpolation processing of pixel information in an interpolation direction according to the obtained interpolation direction information is performed with respect to an image signal obtained by capturing the projection image of the test pattern. This can suppress the artifact and improve the sensing accuracy.

  • Patent number: 11397376
    Abstract: There is provided an image processing device, an image projection device, a control device, an information processing device, an image projection system, an image processing method, and a program that make it possible to suppress a reduction in a subjective image quality. On the basis of each frame image of a moving image, a time during which a projection image of each frame image of the moving image is viewable by a user is controlled. For example, a controller controls the time during which the projection image is viewable by the user, to cause a difference between the moving image and the projection image due to a reduction in a luminance and a difference between the moving image and the projection image, which increases due to an increase in the time during which the projection image is viewable by the user, to be suppressed.
