  • Patent number: 10992913
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus that transforms distortion of an image projected by a projection apparatus includes an obtaining unit and a transformation unit. The obtaining unit is configured to obtain a captured image acquired by capturing a projected image including a pattern image projected by the projection apparatus. The pattern image contains at least three objects having different appearances from one area to another. The transformation unit is configured to specify a local area in the captured image and transform the local area based on a positional relationship among the at least three objects in the local area. The transformation unit transforms the local area by using a positional relationship between an object of a first appearance and an object of a second appearance in the local area and a positional relationship between the object of the first appearance and an object of a third appearance in the local area.

  • Patent number: 9818377
    Abstract: A projection system includes projection units collectively projecting an image as a whole on a projection area; a generation unit generating correction images including correction points which are used for detecting distortions of projection images based on designated relationships; and a compensation coefficient calculation unit calculating compensation coefficients, based on correction captured images acquired from the correction images on the projection area. Further, margin parts are generated in the correction images in a manner so that parts defining the correction points in the correction images are projected within the projection area while the parts defining correction points in the correction images corresponding to the projection units that are next to each other are overlapped.

  • Patent number: 8698901
    Abstract: An automatic calibration method for a projector-camera system including a semi-transparent screen is disclosed herein. An image sequence is caused to be captured from the semi-transparent screen and through the semi-transparent screen while a calibration pattern having features is displayed and not displayed in an alternating succession on the semi-transparent screen. A temporal correlation image is created from the image sequence and a discrete binary signal. Peaks are identified in a spatial cross correlation image generated from the temporal correlation image, where a pattern of the identified peaks corresponds to a pattern of the features in the calibration pattern. The peaks are transformed to coordinates of corrected feature points. A comparison of the corrected feature points and a ground truth set of coordinates for the features is used to determine whether the projector-camera system is calibrated.
