Projector, method of controlling the projector, program for controlling the projector, and recording medium storing the program

1. A projector comprising:

an image capture device that captures an image in a capture region larger than a projection region of a projection image;

an image determining unit that compares and determines the projection image projected by the corresponding projector with another projection image projected in the capture region on the basis of capture information acquired from the image capture device;

a transmission image display unit that projects and displays a transmission image indicating that the corresponding projector is ready to perform a tiling projection when the image determining unit determines that the projection image projected by the corresponding projector is the same as the another projection image;

a transmission image determining unit that determines whether or not another projector projecting the another projection image has projected the transmission image; and

a process parameter creating unit that creates a process parameter which processes display information of the projection image on the basis of a determination result of the transmission image determining unit.

2. The projector according to claim 1 ,

wherein the transmission image indicates a coordinate system of the corresponding projector.

3. The projector according to claim 1 ,

wherein the transmission image indicates whether or not there is any other adjacent projector.

4. The projector according to claim 1 ,

wherein the transmission image indicates the total number of projectors provided for the tiling projection and the position of the corresponding projector among all of the projectors.

5. The projector according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an overlap region determining unit that compares the brightness of the projection image, of the corresponding projector, corresponding to an overlap region overlapping the projection image of the another projector and the brightness of the projection image corresponding to a non-overlap region.

6. A method of controlling a projector comprising:

capturing an image in a capture region larger than a projection region of a projection image;

comparing and determining the projection image projected by the corresponding projector with another projection image projected in the capture region on the basis of capture information acquired from an image capture device;

projecting and displaying a transmission image indicating that the corresponding projector is ready to perform a tiling projection when it is determined that the projection image projected by the corresponding projector is the same as the another projection image;

determining whether or not another projector projecting the another projection image has projected the transmission image; and

creating a process parameter which processes display information of the projection image on the basis of a determination result.

7. A computer-readable storage medium having a program for controlling a projector recorded thereon, the program for controlling a projector having an image capture device capturing an image in a capture region larger than a projection region of a projection image, the program allowing a computer to function as:

an image determining unit that compares and determines the projection image projected by the corresponding projector with another projection image projected in the capture region on the basis of capture information acquired from the image capture device;

a transmission image display unit that projects and displays a transmission image indicating that the corresponding projector is ready to perform a tiling projection when the image determining unit determines that the projection image projected by the corresponding projector is the same as the another projection image;

a transmission image determining unit that determines whether or not another projector projecting the another projection image has projected the transmission image; and

a process parameter creating unit that creates a process parameter which processes display information of the projection image on the basis of a determination result of the transmission image determining unit.
