a parameter representing the width of the front side of the theater,
a parameter representing the depth of the theater,
a parameter representing the height of the theater,
a parameter representing the width of a screen,
a parameter representing the ratio of the screen,
a parameter representing the length from the top of the screen to a ceiling,
a parameter representing the length from the screen to an auditorium,
a parameter representing the length from a back seat of the auditorium to a rear side, or
a parameter representing the height of the back seat of the auditorium.
4. The guide image generation device of claim 3 , wherein the guide image generation unit determines the width of the guide image based on the parameter representing the width of the front side of the theater and the parameter representing the depth of the theater and determines the height of the guide image using the parameter representing the height of the theater.
5. The guide image generation device of claim 4 , wherein the guide image generation unit calculates pixel ratio information representing the ratio of an actual length to the number of pixels using the width of the guide image and horizontal resolution information of the guide image or using the height of the guide image and vertical resolution information of the guide image.
6. The guide image generation device of claim 5 , wherein the guide image generation unit determines a full resolution of the guide image using the pixel ratio information.
7. The guide image generation device of claim 5 , wherein the guide image generation unit generates region information of the guide image using the pixel ratio information, the region information of the guide image including pixel coordinate information.
8. The guide image generation device of claim 1 , wherein the guide image comprises:
a combination of a grid pattern and a circular pattern; and
a reference line formed based on the screen area.
9. The guide image generation device of claim 1 , wherein the parameters are generated based on actual measurement information of the theater, drawing information of the theater, or input information about the theater.
10. An integrated guide image generation system comprising:
a plurality of multi-projection theaters in which a multi-projection system is constructed, respectively; and
a guide image generation device configured to generate a plurality of guide images for guiding image correction processes of the plurality of multi-projection theaters using parameters for the plurality of multi-projection theaters,
wherein the parameters represent structures of the plurality of multi-projection theaters,
wherein each guide image of the plurality of the guide images comprises
a front region corresponding to a front surface of a corresponding multi-projection theater of the plurality of multi-projection theaters,
a left region corresponding to a left wall surface of the corresponding multi-projection theater, and
a right region corresponding to a right wall surface of the corresponding multi-projection theater,
wherein
the front region comprises a screen area, and
the left region or the right region comprises a masking area.
11. The integrated guide image generation system of claim 10 , wherein the each guide image is an image corresponding to a plane development showing the front surface, the left wall surface and the right wall surface of the corresponding multi-projection theater.
12. The integrated guide image generation system of claim 10 , wherein the guide image generation device configured to
generate content for the each multi-projection theater with respect to specific content using the plurality of guide images and
distribute the generated content to the corresponding multi-projection theater.
13. A guide image generation method, comprising:
generating, at a guide image generation device, a guide image for guiding an image correction process of a multi-projection theater using parameters representing a structure of the multi-projection theater,
wherein the guide image comprises
a front region corresponding to a front surface of the multi-projection theater,
a left region corresponding to a left wall surface of the multi-projection theater, and
a right region corresponding to a right wall surface of the multi-projection theater,
wherein
the front region comprises a screen area, and
the left region or the right region comprises a masking area.
