Abstract:
1. A projection and calibration system comprising: an image generator; a plurality of projectors for receiving an image from said image generator and projecting said image onto a screen to provide a final projected image, each of said plurality of projectors comprising a warping system enabled for geometry manipulation of images from said image generator; and a computer for performing a calibration process, said calibration process including comparing an uncorrected image projected by said plurality of projectors with a static geometrically correct image, where the static geometrically correct image is independent of any captured data by a camera, and generating calibration data for mapping said uncorrected image onto said static geometrically correct image, wherein said generating said calibration data comprises: wherein each of said plurality of projectors maps incoming pixel locations from said image generator to corrected pixel locations in said final projected image based on said calibration data such that image warping occurs within each of said plurality of projectors.
