PROJECTION IMAGE ADJUSTMENT METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240333892 titled 'PROJECTION IMAGE ADJUSTMENT METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM
The patent application describes a method for adjusting projection images by capturing images of two projected images that overlap on a surface, determining the shift between them, and adjusting the position of one of the images accordingly.
- Acquiring images of two overlapping projected images to determine the shift between them.
- Moving one of the images to a separate position based on the calculated shift.
- Capturing new images to verify the shift and adjusting the position of the images accordingly.
- Moving the second image in the opposite direction if the shift is smaller than the initial shift.
- Ensuring accurate alignment of projected images on the surface.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in projection mapping, virtual reality systems, and augmented reality applications where precise image alignment is crucial.
Problems Solved: This method solves the problem of misalignment between overlapping projected images, ensuring a seamless and accurate visual experience for viewers.
Benefits: Improved image quality, enhanced visual effects, and a more immersive experience for users.
Commercial Applications: This technology can be utilized in entertainment venues, museums, theaters, and other public spaces to create captivating visual displays and interactive experiences.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve the quality of projected images? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this technology in large-scale projection setups?
Original Abstract Submitted
a projection image adjustment method includes acquiring first captured image by capturing image of first image projected at first position on projection surface and second image projected at second position on projection surface and at least partially overlapping with first image, acquiring first amount of shift between first image and second image based on first captured image, moving first image from first position to third position separate therefrom in first direction, acquiring second captured image by capturing image of first image projected at third position and second image projected at second position, acquiring second amount of shift between first image and second image based on second captured image, and moving second image from second position to a fourth position separate therefrom in a second direction that is the opposite direction of the first direction when the second amount of shift is smaller than the first amount of shift.
