Abstract:
An image projection system for a dome surface comprising:a projector, arranged at a position other than the center of a dome, for projecting an image on a projection surface in the dome, andan image deforming device arranged in front of an original of the projector and consisting of an optical fiber bundle for transmitting an image of the original from an end face on an incident side to an end face on an emission side as images divided into pixels using optical fibers as units to display the images on the end face on the emission side as a secondary image which is deformed, whereinwhen the secondary image is projected on the projection surface in the dome, distortion of the projected image is removed such that the projected image coincides with a projected image obtained when an original is projected from the center of the dome onto the same projection surface.
