Abstract:
Provided is a multi-projector system including: projectors; an image outputting apparatus; and an adjusting apparatus to adjust images. Each of the projectors includes: a light-emitting unit to emit the modulated light; and a color adjusting unit to adjust colors of the projected image. The image outputting apparatus includes an outputting unit to output the first adjustment image and the second adjustment image as the input images of the projectors. The adjusting apparatus includes: an imaging unit to take a projected image and to output a captured image; an analyzing unit to analyze an image of the overlapping area from the captured image so as to determine a color component; and a controller for controlling the color adjusting unit of the first projector so that the color of the overlapping area is an achromatic color in accordance with the color component determined as a result of the analysis.

Claim (Index 1):
A multi-projector system comprising:\n two or more projectors including a first projector and a second projector; an image outputting apparatus implemented by CPU configured to output respective images to the two or more projectors; and an adjusting apparatus implemented by CPU configured to adjust images projected by the two or more projectors, wherein each of the projectors comprises a light-emitting unit configured to modulate light from a light source in accordance with an input image so as to emit the modulated light as a projected image; and a color adjusting unit implemented by CPU and configured to control the input image in accordance with first control data so as to adjust colors of the projected image, the image outputting apparatus comprises an outputting unit implemented by CPU and configured to arrange at least red, green, and blue as three primary colors and at least cyan, magenta, and yellow as three complementary colors that are mutually each complementary to a corresponding one of the three primary colors in two areas positioned correspondingly to each of a first adjustment image and a second adjustment image having respective areas obtained by dividing an image frame corresponding to the projected image images of the first projector and the second projector in a predetermined direction and to output the first adjustment image and the second adjustment image as the input images of the first projector and the second projector respectively, and the adjusting apparatus comprises a camera configured to take a projected image projected onto a projection medium and to output a captured image; an analyzing unit implemented by CPU and configured to, when a first adjustment projected image projected onto the projection medium based on the first adjustment image by the first projector and a second adjustment projected image projected onto the projection medium based on the second adjustment image by the second projector are projected and arranged in the predetermined direction with the positions of the respective areas matched and when there is an overlapping area in the first adjustment projected image and the second adjustment projected image, analyze an image of the overlapping area from the captured image so as to determine a color component; and a controller implemented by CPU configured to generate and output the first control data for controlling at least the color adjusting unit of the first projector so that a mixed color of one of the primary colors and one of the complementary colors with the overlapping area is an achromatic color in accordance with the color component determined as a result of the analysis by the analyzing unit, wherein the first control data is applied to an entire image projected by the first projector.
