Projector, control method of projector, and program

1. A projector comprising:

a projection unit that projects an image on a projection target; and

a processor programmed to:

receive a user input of a first one-dimensional amount or number as a designated deformation amount of the projected image in a predetermined direction, and a second one-dimensional amount or number as a designated deviation of the projected image; and

perform geometric correction on the projected image based on (i) the designated deformation amount in the predetermined direction and (ii) the designated deviation, with respect to the projection target, such that the first one-dimensional amount or number deforms the projected image symmetrically relative to a horizontal line that passes through the projected image, and the second one-dimensional amount or number deforms the projected image un-symmetrically relative to the horizontal line.

2. The projector according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to:

cause the projection unit to project one or more user interfaces for receiving the first one-dimensional amount or number as the designated deformation amount of the projected image in the predetermined direction, and the second one-dimensional amount or number as the designated deviation of the projected image.

3. The projector according to claim 2 , wherein

the one or more user interfaces include a first user interface for instructing for the first one-dimensional amount or number, and a second user interface for instructing for the second one-dimensional amount or number.

4. The projector according to claim 3 , wherein

at least one of the first user interface and the second user interface is a slide bar type user interface.

5. The projector according to claim 2 , wherein:

the one or more user interfaces include a third user interface for instructing for a deformation amount in a second direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction; and

the processor is further programmed to: cause the projection unit to perform the geometric correction in the second direction, in response to an operation of the third user interface.

6. The projector according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to:

cause the projection unit to correct the projected image, based on (i) a distance between a cylindrical surface in a case where the projection target is considered as the cylindrical surface and the projection unit, and (ii) a radius of the cylindrical surface.

7. The projector according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further programmed to:

cause the projection unit to correct the projected image, based on (i) a distance between a convex or concave cylindrical surface that is considered a side of the projection target opposite to the projection unit and the projection unit, and (ii) a radius of the cylindrical surface.

8. The projector according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to:

perform correction in a second direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction, based on the deformation amount in the second direction.

9. The projector according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further programmed to:

cause the projection unit to correct the projected image in the second direction, based on a slope of an optical axis of the projection unit with respect to a horizontal direction.

10. A control method of a projector that projects an image on a projection target, comprising:

projecting an image on a projection target;

determining a first one-dimensional amount or number as a designated deformation amount of the projected image in a predetermined direction;

determining a second one-dimensional amount or number as a designated deviation of the projected image; and

causing the projection unit to perform geometric correction on the projected image based on (i) the designated deformation amount in the predetermined direction and (ii) the designated deviation, with respect to the projection target, such that the first one-dimensional amount or number deforms the projected image symmetrically relative to a horizontal line that passes through the projected image, and the second one-dimensional amount or number deforms the projected image un-symmetrically relative to the horizontal line.

11. The control method of a projector according to claim 10 , wherein:

determining the first one-dimensional amount or number includes receiving a user input of the first one-dimensional amount or number as the designated deformation amount of the projected image in the predetermined direction; and

determining the second one-dimensional amount or number includes receiving a user input of the second one-dimensional amount or number as the designated deviation of the projected image.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

control a projector to project an image on a projection target;

receive a user input of a first one-dimensional amount or number as a designated deformation amount of the projected image in a predetermined direction, and a second one-dimensional amount or number as a designated deviation of the projected image; and

perform geometric correction on the projected image based on (i) the designated deformation amount in the predetermined direction and (ii) the designated deviation, with respect to the projection target, such that the first one-dimensional amount or number deforms the projected image symmetrically relative to a horizontal line that passes through the projected image, and the second one-dimensional amount or number deforms the projected image un-symmetrically relative to the horizontal line.
