Projection system
A projection system includes a light source, an imaging unit, a control unit, and a projecting unit. The light source applies a light beam having a predetermined wavelength. The imaging unit captures a subject to which the light beam is applied. The control unit generates image data for projection based on the captured image. The projecting unit projects a projection image onto the subject. The imaging unit captures the projection image together with an image of a region responding to the light beam. The control unit corrects the image data for projection to additionally display the projection image on a region which responds to the light beam and does not overlap a region onto which the projection image is projected, and to erase the projection image in a region onto which the projection image is projected and does not overlap the region responding to the light beam.
1. A projection system comprising:
a light source for applying a light beam having a predetermined wavelength;
an imaging unit for capturing a subject to which the light beam having the predetermined wavelength is applied;
a control unit for generating image data for projection based on the image captured by the imaging unit;
a projecting unit for projecting, onto the subject, a projection image based on the image data for projection, wherein
the imaging unit captures the projection image together with an image of a region responding to the light beam having the predetermined wavelength, and
the control unit
corrects the image data for projection to additionally display the projection image on a region which responds to the light beam having the predetermined wavelength and does not overlap a region onto which the projection image is projected, and
corrects the image data for projection to erase the projection image in a region onto which the projection image is projected and does not overlap the region responding to the light beam having the predetermined wavelength.
2. The projection system according to claim 1 , wherein
the image data for projection generated by the control unit is an image representing the region responding to the light beam having the predetermined wavelength.
3. The projection system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a storage unit for storing plural pieces of figure information each representing image data of an object having a predetermined figure; wherein
the control unit
selects a piece of figure information from the plural pieces of figure information stored in the storage unit, based on a degree of similarity with the image of the region responding to the light beam having the predetermined wavelength captured by the imaging unit, and
generates the image data for projection such that an image having a figure indicated by the selected piece of figure information is projected onto the region responding to the light beam having the predetermined wavelength.
4. The projection system according to claim 1 , wherein
the subject includes an affected part of a patient or a medical device.
5. The projection system according to claim 1 , wherein
the subject includes an object to be captured which a fluorescent substance responding to the light beam having the predetermined wavelength is applied thereon, is kneaded therein, or is poured therein.
