Abstract

A projection image adjustment system includes: a pattern generator decomposes a projection test pattern into binary test patterns individually corresponding to first attributes to be expressed in a binary manner; a projection display apparatus projects a projection image and the binary test patterns; a pattern combining unit generates binary captured images by individually binarizing captured images generated by capturing the projected binary test patterns and combines the binary captured images into a combined captured image; and a calculator transforms the projection image by using a relationship between positions of feature points in the combined captured image and positions of the feature points in the projection test pattern. The projection test pattern includes divided regions, each of the regions includes a second attribute to be expressed by a combination of the first attributes, and each of the feature points is a point shared three or more adjacent regions among the regions.

Claims (24)

1. A projection image adjustment system comprising:

a pattern generator configured to decompose a projection test pattern into a plurality of binary test patterns individually corresponding to a plurality of first attributes to be expressed in a binary manner;

a projection display apparatus configured to individually project a projection image and the plurality of binary test patterns;

a pattern combining unit configured to generate a plurality of binary captured images by individually binarizing a plurality of captured images generated by individually capturing the plurality of projected binary test patterns and combine the plurality of binary captured images into a combined captured image; and

a calculator configured to transform the projection image by using a relationship between positions of a plurality of feature points in the combined captured image and positions of the plurality of feature points in the projection test pattern,

wherein the projection test pattern includes a plurality of divided regions,

wherein each of the plurality of regions includes a second attribute to be expressed by a combination of the plurality of first attributes, and

wherein each of the plurality of feature points is a point shared three or more adjacent regions among the plurality of regions.

2. The projection image adjustment system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of first attributes are a plurality of color channels to be expressed in values indicating ON or OFF, and

wherein the second attribute is a color to be expressed by a combination of the values of the plurality of color channels.

3. The projection image adjustment system according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of color channels are three color channels corresponding to red, green, and blue.

4. The projection image adjustment system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of first attributes are a plurality of brightness channels respectively indicating bits in which a brightness value is expressed in the binary number, and

wherein the second attribute is a brightness to be expressed by a combination of the values of the plurality of brightness channels.

5. The projection image adjustment system according to claim 1 , wherein, in the plurality of regions, a number of regions point-adjacent to one another at each of the plurality of feature points is same among all of the plurality of feature points.

6. A projection image adjustment method comprising:

decomposing a projection test pattern into a plurality of binary test patterns individually corresponding to a plurality of first attributes to be expressed in a binary manner;

individually projecting a projection image and the plurality of binary test patterns;

generating a plurality of binary captured images by individually binarizing a plurality of captured images generated by individually capturing the plurality of projected binary test patterns and combining the plurality of binary captured images into a combined captured image; and

transforming the projection image by using a relationship between positions of a plurality of feature points in the combined captured image and positions of the plurality of feature points in the projection test pattern,

wherein the projection test pattern includes a plurality of divided regions,

wherein each of the plurality of regions includes a second attribute to be expressed by a combination of the plurality of first attributes, and

wherein each of the plurality of feature points is a point shared by three or more adjacent regions among of the plurality of regions.
