Abstract

The invention relates to a system for obtaining the transformation ( 30 ) of an image, said system comprising means for capturing or introducing a image proportions; means for capturing or introducing a width of the transformation; means for capturing or introducing a height of the virtual representation of the image; means for establishing or introducing coordinate axes at the point on the surface, onto which the viewing point is orthogonally projected; and comprising a computer equipped with a program for obtaining: a first transformation angle (α) from two parameters: the distance between the point on the surface onto which the viewing point is projected and the upper end furthest from the transformation; and the distance corresponding to the coordinate of the upper end furthest from the transformation in relation to said viewing point, and the distance corresponding to the coordinate of the upper end furthest from the transformation in relation to the viewing point; a lateral transformation longitude (L3) from the first transformation angle and the transformation width; a longitude (L4) of the transformation ( 30 ) from the captured proportions and height of the virtual representation; a second transformation angle (λ) from two parameters: the distance between the point on the surface onto which the viewing point is projected and the lower end closest to the transformation; and the distance corresponding to the coordinate of the lower end closest to the transformation.

Claims (7)

1. A system for obtaining a transformation of an image, such that when said transformation is arranged on a surface that forms a horizontal plane and is seen by an observer from at least one appropriate viewing point wherein the transformation of the image does not depend on the height position of the observer with respect to the horizontal plane, a virtual representation of the image appears in a position perpendicular to the surface onto which it is arranged, wherein the system comprises means for capturing a image proportions to be transformed; means for capturing a width that the transformation of the image should have; means for capturing a height of the virtual representation of the image should have; means for establishing coordinate axes at the point on the surface onto which the viewing point is orthogonally projected, with said coordinate axes on the same horizontal plane corresponding to the surface on which the transformation of the image is arranged; and comprising a computer equipped with a program for obtaining:

a first transformation angle of the image from at least two of the following parameters: the distance between the point on the surface onto which the viewing point is projected and the upper end furthest from the transformation of the image in relation to said viewing point; the distance corresponding to the coordinate of the upper end furthest from the transformation of the image in relation to said viewing point, on a first axis of the coordinate axes; and the distance corresponding to the coordinate of the upper end furthest from the transformation of the image in relation to said viewing point, on a second axis of the coordinate axes;

a lateral transformation length of the image from the first transformation angle of the image and the width the transformation of the image should have;

a transformation length of the image from the used proportion of the image and the used height of the virtual representation of the image;

a second transformation angle of the image from at least two of the following parameters, the distance between the point of the surface onto which the viewing point is projected and said lower end closest to the transformation of the image in respect of said viewing point; the distance corresponding to the coordinate of the lower end closest to the transformation of the image in relation to said viewing point, on the first axis of the coordinate axes; and the distance corresponding to the coordinate of the lower end closest to the transformation of the image in relation to said viewing point, on the second axis of the coordinate axes.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the observer is a television camera.

3. A system for obtaining an advertising medium, comprising a system for obtaining the transformation of an image according to claim 1 , from which the transformation of an advertising image is obtained, and means for printing the transformation of the advertising image onto a medium.
