Abstract:
A free-form lens (for example a phase modulator, lens or deformable mirror) may be made to reproduce a light pattern specified by image data. Source regions on the free-form lens are mapped to target regions areas on an image. Areas of the source regions are adjusted to vary the amount of light delivered to each of the target regions. Adjustment of the source areas may be achieved using a L-BFGS optimization which preferably incorporates smoothness and curl regularizers. Embodiments apply parallel processing to obtain control values for a free form lens in real time or near real time. Apparatus may process image data and display an image by controlling a dynamically variable free form lens using the processed image data.

Claim (Index 20):
The projector according to  claim 2  wherein the controller is configured to perform a method comprising:\n defining the plurality of source regions on the free form lens and the plurality of display regions at a display plane, wherein the source regions are non-overlapping, each of the source regions have a boundary and a source area and one or more source intensity values and being associated with a corresponding one of the display regions and each of the display regions has a corresponding display region area; \n based on the image data, assigning a target light intensity value to each of a plurality of the display regions; \n adjusting: a configuration for the source regions; or a configuration for the display regions; or configurations for both the source regions and the display regions such that ratios of the display areas of the display regions to the source areas of the corresponding source regions is proportional to a ratio of source light intensity values for the source regions to the target light intensity value assigned to the corresponding display region; \n generating a configuration for the free form lens in each of the source areas, the configuration arranged to redirect light incident on the source area onto the corresponding display area; and \n controlling the free form lens according to the configuration and illuminating the source regions with incident light according to the source intensity values.
