Image projection system and image projection method

1. An image projection system which projects a plurality of same images on a plane of projection by superimposition, comprising:

a plurality of projectors configured to have mutually different resolutions and project the plurality of same images on the plane of projection; and

a processor to output to the plurality of projectors image data corresponding to the plurality of same images with the resolutions of the plurality of projectors, respectively,

wherein the resolutions of the image data are preset to a highest resolution of a first projector among the resolutions of the plurality of projectors, and the processor includes a resolution converter configured to convert the highest resolution of image data to be output to one of the plurality of projectors other than the first projector into a resolution of said one of the plurality of projectors.

2. The image projection system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to output to the plurality of projectors image data of a plurality of patterns whose resolutions are preset to the resolutions of the plurality of projectors, respectively, in a time sequence, and

the image projection system further comprises an imaging device configured to create images of the plurality of patterns projected on the plane of projection in a time sequence by the plurality of projectors.

3. The image projection system according to claim 2 , wherein the processor includes an image data correction unit configured to correct the image data to be output to the plurality of projectors based on the plurality of patterns in the created images.

4. The image projection system according to claim 3 , wherein the image data correction unit includes a distortion correction unit configured to correct distortion of the image data to be output to the plurality of projectors based on distortion correction data of the plurality of patterns in the created images.

5. The image projection system according to claim 3 , wherein the image data correction unit includes a deviation correction unit configured to correct a deviation of the image data to be output to the plurality of projectors based on deviation correction data of the plurality of patterns in the created images.

6. The image projection system according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of patterns include a plurality of dot patterns in which dots are arrayed in a two dimensional form.

7. An image projection method which projects a plurality of same images on a plane of projection by superimposition, comprising:

outputting to a plurality of projectors having mutually different resolutions image data corresponding to the plurality of same images with the resolutions of the plurality of projectors, respectively; and

projecting the image data by the plurality of projectors,

wherein the resolutions of the image data are preset to a highest resolution of a first projector among the resolutions of the plurality of projectors, and

the outputting the image data includes converting, by a resolution converter unit, the highest resolution of image data to be output to one of the plurality of projectors other than the first projector into a resolution of said one of the plurality of projectors.

8. The image projection method according to claim 7 , wherein the outputting the image data includes:

outputting to the plurality of projectors image data of a plurality of patterns whose resolutions are preset to the resolutions of the plurality of projectors, respectively, in a time sequence;

creating images of the plurality of patterns projected on the plane of projection in a time sequence by the plurality of projectors; and

correcting the image data to be output to the plurality of projectors based on the plurality of patterns in the created images.
