Patent number: 9047514Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods are provided for illuminating objects in a projection area. The system includes a computing device, a projector and a camera. The computing device stores a digital model of an object, and illumination data having lighting parameters and a reference to the digital model. The projector, or another light source, projects structured light onto the projection area, and the camera simultaneously captures an image of the projection area. The computing device receives the captured image, determines a position and orientation of the object by comparing the digital model to the captured image, and then generates a canvas image including a region matching the determined position and orientation of the object. The projector projects the canvas image onto the projection area. A predefined portion of the object corresponding to the reference in the illumination data is thereby illuminated according to the lighting parameters.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2013Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: CHRISTIE DIGITAL SYSTEMS USA, INC.Inventors: John Vieth, Roy Anthony, Paul Salvini

Patent number: 9049369Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods are provided for projecting images onto predefined portions of objects in a projection area. The system includes a computing device, a projector and a camera. The computing device stores a digital model of an object, and an image containing a reference to the digital model. The projector, or another light source, projects structured light onto the projection area, and the camera simultaneously captures an image of the projection area. The computing device receives the captured image, determines a position and orientation of the object by comparing the digital model to the captured image, and then generates a canvas image including a version of the image which has been transformed to match the determined position and orientation of the object. The projector projects the canvas image onto the projection area. The transformed image is thereby projected onto a predefined portion of the object.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2013Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: CHRISTIE DIGITAL SYSTEMS USA, INC.Inventors: John Vieth, Roy Anthony, Paul Salvini
