Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, the projector can adapt for virtually any surface of any shape and any complexity. A depth camera determines the configuration of the display surface. More particularly, the depth camera can produce an array of depth samples at a granularity determined to account for the complexity of the surface. A computer processor can take this array of samples and associated patches and adapt each patch to the local surface contour. Then all the patches can be combined and projected as a combined image that accounts for all the surface irregularities at the granularity at which the samples were taken. However, initially, the depth camera can be adapted to change the granularity or density of the sample points at which depths are calculated, based on an analysis of the complexity of the display surface.
