Patent ID: 8042954

Claim:
A method for mosaicing a first projected image from a first projector-camera system and a second projected image from a second projector-camera system, comprising: (a) establishing a first light transport matrix T 1 that relates a first camera image c 1 of said first projector-camera system to a first projector image p 1 of said first projector-camera system according to relation c 1 =T 1 p 1 ; (b) establishing a second light transport matrix T 2 that relates a second camera image c 2 of said second projector-camera system to a second projector image p 2 of said second projector-camera system according to relation c 2 =T 2 p 2 ; (c) defining a desired composite image “c”; (d) setting P 2 equal to zero, solving for p 1 in formula p 1 =T 1 −1 (c−T 2 p 2 ); (e) using the current solved value for p 1 , solving for p 2 in formula p 2 =T 2 −1 (c−T 1 p 1 ); (f) using the current solved value for p 2 , solving for p 1 in formula p 1 =T 1 −1 (c−T 2 p 2 ); (g) repeating steps (e) and (f) in sequence until p 1 converges to a first mosaicing image and p 2 converges to a second mosaicing image.
