(2) formation of the functional element in the CPU41

(2-1) formation of brightness irregularities detecting unit 411

Brightness irregularities detecting unit 411 is that the output according to the CCD camera 3 of the projected image that has gone out from projector's 100 projections from having made a video recording comes the uneven part of sensed luminance, specifically, and the processing of execution graph 2 and Fig. 3.

At first, brightness irregularities detecting unit 411 is input to the brightness irregularities detection to become with projecting image data TP revises the projector 100 that data are made object, handle and this view data respective projection image projection (treatment S 1) on the perspective plane of screen 2 from projector 100.And the brightness irregularities of this moment detects the monochrome image that is shown as certain gray scale with projecting image data TP.

Then, brightness irregularities detecting unit 411 is used as the CCD camera 3 of camera head and takes the projected image that is projected on the perspective plane, and data for projection A1 is taken into (treatment S 2) as numerical data.

At last, carry out image processing and make that precision reflects brightness irregularities in data for projection A1, obtain the brightness irregularities distribution A2 of the distribution that becomes the output characteristic value, in brightness irregularities distributed store portion 421, store data (treatment S 3: distribute and detect step).

(2-2) formation of equipotential line setup unit 412

Equipotential line setup unit 412 is according to the brightness irregularities distribution A2 that obtains, set the interval of the equal equipotential line of brightness irregularities,, on brightness irregularities distribution A2, set the part of equipotential line according to the interval of the equipotential line of setting, specifically, the processing of execution graph 4 and Fig. 5.

At first, equipotential line setup unit 412 is obtained the brightness irregularities distribution A2 (treatment S 4) that is stored in the brightness irregularities distributed store portion 421.

Then, equipotential line setup unit 412 is obtained the maximum and the minimum value (treatment S 5) of brightness irregularities from the brightness irregularities distribution A2 that obtains.

And then equipotential line setup unit 412 is obtained the histogram A3 (treatment S 6) of brightness irregularities from brightness irregularities distribution A2.

Equipotential line setup unit 412 is set the interval (treatment S 7: equipotential line is set step at interval) of equipotential line according to the histogram A3 that obtains.

For example, when obtaining brightness irregularities distributed image A4 shown in Figure 6, it is under the situation of state such shown in the histogram A5 that this brightness irregularities distributes, with E 〉=160,140≤E＜160, equally spaced get under the situation at interval of equipotential line 120≤E＜140, the mode of E＜120, and brightness irregularities distributed image A4 classifies as image A 6.On the other hand, when with E 〉=160,150≤E＜160,130≤E＜150, get under the situation at interval of equipotential line, brightness irregularities distributed image A4 classifies as image A 7 the mode unequal interval of E＜130.Which kind of that is, can set arbitrarily based on the setting at interval of the equipotential line of equipotential line setup unit 412 according to carrying out correction.

If further describe, then for example as shown in Figure 7, under the situation of the brightness irregularities distributed image A9 that obtains the brightness irregularities distribution that has as histogram A8, equipotential line setup unit 412 can freely be set at the equipotential line B of the such unequal interval of the such equally spaced equipotential line A of image A 10, image A 11 according to the characteristic of revising data, and the equipotential line C of the such unequal interval of image A 12.

Equipotential line A is the simplest equipotential line establishing method of uniformly-spaced setting at interval, when setting at interval, has the advantage that does not need to carry out particular processing.

Equipotential line B makes the equipotential line establishing method at interval that narrows down at interval around the maximum that brightness irregularities distributes, narrow down at interval in the equipotential line of the substantial middle part of brightness irregularities distributed image A9.According to such establishing method, can set and can revise eye-catching especially uneven correction data meticulously, effective in uneven correction with peak value.

Equipotential line C makes the equipotential line establishing method at interval that narrows down at interval near the peak value of the histogram A8 of brightness irregularities distributed image A9, narrow down at the first-class bit line spacer of peripheral part of brightness irregularities distributed image A9.According to such establishing method, can set the correction data of the brightness irregularities that can revise the zone that is diffused in wide region meticulously, effective in the uneven correction of vibration shape.
