PROJECTOR AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17972891 titled 'PROJECTOR AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a projector device that includes an image projection unit, a camera, and a processor. The device projects a guide image with multiple objects and captures it using the camera. The processor then identifies the location of the objects in the captured image and also identifies the location of related objects. Based on this information, the processor acquires image correction information.
- The projector device includes an image projection unit, camera, and processor.
- It projects a guide image with multiple objects and captures it using the camera.
- The processor identifies the location of the objects in the captured image.
- The processor also identifies the location of related objects.
- Based on this information, the processor acquires image correction information.
Potential Applications
- Augmented reality applications where virtual objects are projected onto real-world scenes.
- Interactive presentations or exhibitions where users can interact with projected objects.
- Gaming applications that combine virtual and real-world elements.
Problems Solved
- Accurate positioning and alignment of projected objects in relation to real-world objects.
- Correcting any distortions or misalignments in the projected image.
- Enhancing the user experience by seamlessly integrating virtual and real-world elements.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy and precision in projecting and aligning objects.
- Enhanced visual experience with corrected image distortions.
- Increased versatility and interactivity in various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
A projector device comprises: an image projection unit for projecting a guide image including a plurality of first objects; a camera; and a processor for obtaining a captured image acquired by the camera, the captured image including a guide image projected through the image projection unit. The processor identifies first location information corresponding to a location of each of a plurality of first objects included in the obtained captured image, identifies second location information corresponding to a location of each of a plurality of second objects related to the plurality of first objects, respectively, on the basis of the obtained captured image, and acquires image correction information on the basis of the first location information and the second location information.
