Abstract:
Provided is a parallax minimization stitching method and apparatus using control points in an overlapping region. A parallax minimization stitching method may include defining a plurality of control points in an overlapping region of a first image and a second image received from a plurality of cameras, performing a first geometric correction by applying a homography to the control points, defining a plurality of patches based on the control points, and performing a second geometric correction by mapping the patches.
Abstract:
The present specification is related to a method for performing multi-projection and a multi-projection system for minimizing a black offset in a multi-projection environment. The present specification provides the method for performing multi-projection comprising estimating the intensity transfer function (ITF) of a plurality of projectors, calculating an optimal black offset threshold for each of the projectors by using each of the ITFs, and applying the optimal black offset threshold to an image projection by each of the projectors.

Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for correcting colors of an image projection device are provided. The method includes: acquiring a photographed image by photographing a sample image projected on projection surface; generating input-output color information for n regions, based on color values of a block in the sample image and corresponding color values of the block in the photographed image; selecting one of the n regions of photographed images as a reference region; generating look-up tables (LUTs) for non-reference regions, based on the reference region and the input and output color information; and correcting colors of input images to be projected by the image projection device using the look-up tables, thereby minimizing color difference of the input images on the projection surface for both intra and inter projection device color correction while simplifying the correction procedure.

The apparatus may include an image preprocessing unit to search for a matching point between images captured by a plurality of cameras, and to extract, as image information, at least one of a depth value, a texture value and object division information from each of the captured images, an image information structuring unit to structure 3D data to use the extracted image information to generate a realistic image, a 3D data format storage unit to store format information of the structured 3D data in a database (DB), realistic image generating unit to generate a realistic panoramic image using the stored format information of the 3D data, and a realistic image rendering unit to perform rendering on the generated realistic panoramic image.
Abstract:
Provided is a geometric correction apparatus and method based on a recursive Bezier patch sub-division. A geometric correction method may include: receiving, from a camera, a first image that is obtained by photographing a black screen that is projected by a projector onto a projection surface; receiving, from the camera, a second image that is obtained by photographing a predetermined pattern that is projected by the projector onto the projection screen; generating a third image by subtracting the first image from the second image; and performing geometric correction with respect to the predetermined pattern to correct a distortion between the predetermined pattern and the third image.
