Abstract

Provided are a method and an apparatus for correcting a color convergence error. The method includes: in a dark room environment, collecting a projection light point on a projection screen projected by a projection system, to obtain a projection image; adjusting the test pattern, so that a first projection light point corresponding to the white point of a first coordinate on the test pattern after being projected by a first color light source is located in a center of the projection image; obtaining a second and/or a third projection light points corresponding to the white point of the first coordinate after being projected by a second and/or a third color light sources from the projection image; and adjusting an assembly parameter of the projection system according to a position of the second and/or the third projection light points and a position of the first projection light point.

Claims (40)

1. A method for correcting a color convergence error, comprising:

in a dark room environment, collecting a projection light point on a projection screen projected by a projection system, to obtain a projection image; wherein the projection system projects a test pattern containing an array of a white point by using RGB three-color light source; wherein the RGB three-color light source comprises a first color light source, a second color light source and a third color light source;

adjusting the test pattern to make a first projection light point corresponding to a white point with a first coordinate on the test pattern after being projected by a first color light source be located in a center of the projection image; wherein the first projection light point is any one of projection light points on the projection image;

obtaining a second projection light point and/or a third projection light point corresponding to the white point with the first coordinate after being projected by a second color light source and/or a third color light source from the projection image; and

adjusting an assembly parameter of the projection system according to a position of the second projection light point and/or the third projection light point and a position of the first projection light point.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before the collecting the projection light point on the projection screen projected by the projection system, the method further comprises:

determining a minimum distance between two adjacent projection light points received by the projection screen according to a size of a photosensitive element on a camera collecting the projection image; and

designing reversely an array distance corresponding to the array of the white point on the test pattern according to the minimum distance between the two projection light points, a magnification of the projection system, and a distance between the projection screen and the projection system.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the adjusting the test pattern to make the first projection light point corresponding to the white point with the first coordinate on the test pattern after being projected by the first color light source be located in the center of the projection image comprises:

after the first color light source displays the test pattern, judging whether there is the first projection light point on the collected projection image;

if yes, calculating the center-of-mass coordinate of the first projection light point, and judging whether the first projection light point is located at the center of the projection image according to the center-of-mass coordinate; and

if no, adjusting the test pattern according to the center-of-mass coordinate, so that the first projection light point superposes with the center of the projection image.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the adjusting the test pattern to make the first projection light point corresponding to the white point with the first coordinate on the test pattern after being projected by the first color light source be located in the center of the projection image comprises:

after the first color light source displays the test pattern, judging whether there is the first projection light point on the collected projection image;

if yes, calculating the center-of-mass coordinate of the first projection light point, and judging whether the first projection light point is located at the center of the projection image according to the center-of-mass coordinate; and

if no, adjusting the test pattern according to the center-of-mass coordinate, so that the first projection light point superposes with the center of the projection image.

5. An apparatus for correcting a color convergence error, comprising:

an image collecting module, configured to collect a projection light point on a projection screen projected by a projection system, to obtain a projection image; wherein the projection system projects a test pattern containing an array of a white point by using RGB three-color light source; wherein the RGB three-color light source comprises a first color light source, a second color light source and a third color light source;

an adjusting module, configured to adjust the test pattern to make a first projection light point corresponding to a white point with a first coordinate on the test pattern after being projected by a first color light source be located in a center of the projection image; wherein the first projection light point is any one of projection light points on the projection image;

the image collecting module, further configured to obtain a second projection light point and/or a third projection light point corresponding to the white point with the first coordinate after being projected by a second color light source and/or a third color light source from the projection image; and

an error correcting module, configured to adjust an assembly parameter of the projection system according to a position of the second projection light point and/or the third projection light point and a position of the first projection light point.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the error correcting module is specifically configured to:

calculate a center-of-mass coordinate of the second projection light point and/or the third projection light point;

judge whether the second projection light point and/or the third projection the light point superposes with the first projection light point according to the center-of-mass coordinate; and

if no, adjust a position of the second color light source and/or the third color light source accordingly, so that the second projection light point and/or the third projection light point superposes with the first projection light point.

7. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the image collecting module is further configured to:

before collecting the projection light point on the projection screen projected by the projection system, determine a minimum distance between two adjacent projection light points received by the projection screen according to a size of a photosensitive element on a camera collecting the projection image; and

design reversely an array distance corresponding to the array of the white point on the test pattern according to the minimum distance between the two projection light points, a magnification of the projection system, and a distance between the projection screen and the projection system.

8. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the adjusting module is specifically configured to:

after the first color light source displays the test pattern, judge whether there is the first projection light point on the collected projection image;

if yes, calculate the center-of-mass coordinate of the first projection light point, and judge whether the first projection light point is located at the center of the projection image according to the center-of-mass coordinate; and

if no, adjust the test pattern according to the center-of-mass coordinate, so that the first projection light point superposes with the center of the projection image.

9. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the adjusting module is specifically configured to:

after the first color light source displays the test pattern, judge whether there is the first projection light point on the collected projection image;

if yes, calculate the center-of-mass coordinate of the first projection light point, and judge whether the first projection light point is located at the center of the projection image according to the center-of-mass coordinate; and

if no, adjust the test pattern according to the center-of-mass coordinate, so that the first projection light point superposes with the center of the projection image.
