Abstract:
A “Concurrent Projector-Camera” uses an image projection device in combination with one or more cameras to enable various techniques that provide visually flicker-free projection of images or video, while real-time image or video capture is occurring in that same space. The Concurrent Projector-Camera provides this projection in a manner that eliminates video feedback into the real-time image or video capture. More specifically, the Concurrent Projector-Camera dynamically synchronizes a combination of projector lighting (or light-control points) on-state temporal compression in combination with on-state temporal shifting during each image frame projection to open a “capture time slot” for image capture during which no image is being projected. This capture time slot represents a tradeoff between image capture time and decreased brightness of the projected image. Examples of image projection devices include LED-LCD based projection devices, DLP-based projection devices using LED or laser illumination in combination with micromirror arrays, etc.

Claim (Index 13):
A computer-implemented process comprising applying a general-purpose computing device to perform process actions for:\n continuously capturing image frames covering a first projection area including one or more moving 3D objects; responsive to capturing of the image frames, generating one or more real-time depth maps of the first projection area, the depth maps further comprising one or more of the moving 3D objects; responsive to the generation of the real-time depth maps, generating one or more real-time projections matched to one or more of the moving 3D objects; and causing one or more projection devices to project one or more of the matched projections onto corresponding moving 3D objects.
