Installation information acquisition method, correction method, program, and installation information acquisition system
View Patent ↗A projector in an installation information acquisition method is installed in a real space, has a changeable projection direction, and projects a projection image based on a virtual image. The virtual image is an image in a case where an image arranged at a display position in a virtual space is viewed from a virtual installation position. The method includes first acquisition processing for acquiring positional information of three or more first adjustment points in the virtual space, projection processing for projecting, by the projector, an index image onto the real space, second acquisition processing for acquiring angle information of the projection direction with respect to a reference direction in a state where the index image matches three or more second adjustment points respectively corresponding to the three or more first adjustment points, and third acquisition processing for acquiring installation information based on the positional information and the angle information.
1. An installation information acquisition method of a projector that is installed at an installation position in a real space, has a projection direction changeable with respect to a reference direction, and projects a projection image based on a virtual image onto a projection position in the real space, the virtual image being an image in a case where an image arranged at a display position in a virtual space corresponding to the real space is viewed from a virtual installation position in the virtual space corresponding to the installation position, the method comprising:
first acquisition processing for acquiring positional information regarding positions of three or more first adjustment points in the virtual space;
projection processing for projecting, by the projector, an index image onto the real space;
second acquisition processing for acquiring angle information regarding an angle of the projection direction of the projector with respect to the reference direction in a state where a position of the index image matches each of three or more second adjustment points respectively corresponding to the three or more first adjustment points in the virtual space; and
third acquisition processing for acquiring installation information regarding an installation state of the projector based on the positional information and the angle information.
2. The installation information acquisition method according to claim 1 , further comprising arrangement processing for arranging a virtual camera at the virtual installation position in the virtual space, wherein the virtual image is an image when the image arranged at the display position is viewed from the virtual camera.
3. The installation information acquisition method according to claim 1 , wherein
in the projection processing, the projector projects the index image onto three or more initial projection positions respectively corresponding to the three or more first adjustment points in the real space, and
in the second acquisition processing, the angle information is acquired based on an adjustment angle obtained by adjusting the projection direction of the projector, and the position of the index image projected onto the initial projection positions are adjusted to positions of the second adjustment points.
4. The installation information acquisition method according to claim 1 , wherein a number of first adjustment points and a number of second adjustment points are each four or more.
5. The installation information acquisition method according to claim 1 , wherein the three or more second adjustment points include points on a contour of an article present in the real space.
6. The installation information acquisition method according to claim 1 , wherein
a plurality of discontinuous surfaces discontinuous with each other are present in the real space, and
the three or more second adjustment points include points on at least two discontinuous surfaces of the plurality of discontinuous surfaces.
7. The installation information acquisition method according to claim 1 , wherein the projector includes
a projection unit that emits light for projecting an image onto the real space,
a mirror unit that reflects the light emitted from the projection unit, and
a drive unit that drives the mirror unit to change an orientation of the mirror unit, and changes a projection direction of the image.
8. A correction method for correcting the projection image by using the installation information acquired by the installation information acquisition method according to claim 1 , the method comprising correction processing for correcting the virtual installation position based on the installation information and generating the projection image based on the virtual image in a case of being viewed from the corrected virtual installation position.
9. A correction method for correcting a projection direction in which the projection image is projected by the projector by using the angle information acquired by the installation information acquisition method according to claim 1 , the method comprising correction processing for obtaining the projection direction at any display position other than the three or more second adjustment points by interpolation by using the angle information obtained for each of the three or more second adjustment points in the second acquisition processing.
10. A non-transitory recording medium recording a program causing one or more processors to execute the installation information acquisition method according to claim 1 .
11. A non-transitory recording medium recording a program causing one or more processors to execute the correction method according to claim 8 .
12. A non-transitory recording medium recording a program causing one or more processors to execute the correction method according to claim 9 .
13. An installation information acquisition system of a projector that is installed at an installation position in a real space, has a projection direction changeable with respect to a reference direction, and projects a projection image based on a virtual image onto a projection position in the real space, the virtual image being an image in a case where an image arranged at a display position in a virtual space corresponding to the real space is viewed from a virtual installation position in the virtual space corresponding to the installation position, the system comprising:
a first acquisition unit that acquires positional information regarding positions of three or more first adjustment points in the virtual space;
a projection processor that causes the projector to project an index image onto the real space;
a second acquisition unit that acquires angle information regarding an angle of the projection direction of the projector with respect to the reference direction in a state where a position of the index image matches each of three or more second adjustment points respectively corresponding to the three or more first adjustment points in the virtual space; and
a third acquisition unit that acquires installation information regarding an installation state of the projector based on the positional information and the angle information.
