In method block 307, correspondent transform is applied to additional first perspective view by computing device 201 and/or controller 220 Picture and additional second projected image are respectively formed the first projected image and the second projected image after conversion after conversion.
In method block 309, computing device 201 and/or controller 220 control the projection of the first projector 207-1 and second Instrument 207-2 is based on public target position and projects the first projected image and the second projected image after conversion after conversion respectively, after conversion The second projected image aligned stack projects after first projected image and conversion, such as on surface 215.
It will be described below according to nonlimiting examples of the Fig. 4 to Fig. 7 to method 300.
Fig. 4 shows the perspective view on surface 215 and the first projector 207-1 projects (shown in dotted line) to surface 215 The first projected image 407-1 and the second projector 207-2 projection (shown in dotted line) to surface 215 on the second perspective view As 407-2.First projected image 407-1 and the second projected image 407-2, is alternatively referred to as, projected image 407 below, And commonly referred to as projected image 407.Further, although Fig. 4 shows projected image 407 simultaneously on surface 215, each Projected image 407 can be to be projected in different times.Moreover, projected image 407 is mutual even if projecting at the same time Between be also be misaligned.
Fig. 4 further illustrates camera 214 and obtains at least one projected image 407 and computing device in certain position 201 with the communication of projector 207 and camera 214.In fact, computing device 201 and/or controller 220 can control projector 207 projection projected images 407, and control camera 214 obtain camera image 414.
Each projected image 407 may include one or more structure light images, for example, generating projector 207 and phase Point between machine 214 and/or surface 215 is corresponding and/or mapping and/or corresponding model and/or the first projector 207-1 and the Point between two projector 207-2 is corresponding and/or maps and/or correspond to model.For example, directing attention to Fig. 5, Fig. 5 is shown Two the structure light images 507-1,507-2 that similar one or more projected image 407 projects (are alternatively referred to as tying below Structure light image 507).Structure light image 507-1 includes horizontal stripe pattern and structure light image 507-2 includes vertical stripes Pattern.Each structure light image 507 can be projected sequentially, be such as first similar to projected image 407-1 and be projected instrument 207-1 throwing It penetrates, then is similar to projected image 407-2 and is projected instrument 207-2 projection.
Each 207 projective structure light image 507 of projector, camera 214 obtain corresponding each camera image 414, control Device 220 receives camera image 414, and controller 220 generates the pixel and/or region in camera image 414 and structure light image 507 Between it is corresponding and/or corresponding model (for example, in homolographic projection region of each projector 207).
In other words, controller 220 controls the hardware pixel (for example, pixel modulator) of each projector 207 to project The image pixel of specific structure light image 507, controller 220 identify corresponding pixel and/or region in camera image 414, phase Machine image 414 is consistent with the specific hardware pixel of the imaging device of the camera 214.In this way, each projected image 207 is mapped To camera area, and/or by transmission pixel correspondence and/or corresponding model is converted, the pixel of a projector 207 can be reflected (for example, from a view field to another view field) is mapped in the pixel of another projector 207.
For the correspondence model, due to, such as the resolution ratio of the camera image 414, each projector pixel Ying Youyi A corresponding points, however, due to processing constraint (such as the time etc.) and/or measuring error and/or mapping error, some correspondence (examples Such as, in corresponding model) mapping be based on, come for example, threshold value and/or abnormal point etc. are filtered out.
Under any circumstance, controller 220 is generally used for using public domain, and public domain includes but is not limited to, below One in the region of one: first projector 207-1 in multiple and the region of the second projector 207-2;Camera area;Screen Curtain region (for example, the physical geometry when surface 215 is configured in controller 220);Any mathematical region and sensor Region is (for example, the sensor insertion surface 215 of the projected image 407 for sensing projection and/or the region of abutment surface 215 Embodiment etc.).In other words, location of pixels and/or 407 region of projected image and camera image 414 can mutually map to each other Any region, all in the range of the present embodiment.
Particularly, when one or more sensors for obtaining images in system 200 include one or more cameras, such as When camera 214, the first image and the second image in the method block 301 of method 300 include corresponding camera image, for example, phase Machine image 414 and public domain may include camera area.In addition, camera area can be used for projecting image from one Instrument 207 is transmitted to another 207 region of projector etc..
Particularly, when one or more sensors for obtaining image of system 200 include insertion surface or abutment surface (surface that the first projected image 407-1 and the second projected image 407-2 are projected onto, such as when multiple optical sensors 215), The first image and the second image in the method block 301 of method 300 include corresponding sensor image, which includes passing Sensor region.In addition, similarly, sensor region can be used for image being transmitted to another projection from a projector 207 207 region of instrument etc..
Attention is gone in Fig. 6, Fig. 6 shows public domain CS, for example, the pixel pair of projected image 407-1 mapping The camera area for answering model I1, I2 to map.In other words, pixel corresponds to the position of model I1 and the position pair of projected image 407-1 It answers, pixel corresponds to the position of model I2 and the position of projected image 407-2 and corresponds to.Therefore, corresponding in the pixel of public domain CS The position of model I1, I2 represent a kind of embodiment of the method block 301 in method 300, wherein controller 220, in public area Domain CS determines the first throwing (for example, coming from camera 214) from the first image (for example, coming from camera 214) and the second image respectively The initial position (for example, position that pixel corresponds to model I1, I2 representative) of shadow image 407-1 and the second projected image 407-2.
Fig. 6 is also shown by the determination of controller 220 in the method block 303 in method 300 in the CS of public domain Virtual projection image V is located at the public target position in the CS of public domain, which is that pixel corresponds to model The public target position of the first projected image 407-1 and the second projected image 407-2 that I1, I2 are represented.In other words, in order to by One projected image 407-1 and the second projected image 407-2 are stacked, and need to throw the first projected image 407-1 and second Shadow image 407-2 is moved to the public target position of virtual projection image V representative.
Therefore, in the method block 305 of method 300, public target position of the controller 220 based on virtual projection image V Correspondent transform W1, W2 of the first projected image 407-1 and the second projected image 407-2 are determined, with mobile first projected image 407-1 and the second projected image 407-2.The correspondence arrow of Fig. 6 shows transformation W1, W2, indicates that the transformation W1, W2 are intended to the One projected image 407-1 and the second projected image 407-2 converts and/or is moved to the position of virtual projection image V from initial position It sets.As shown, virtual projection image V is distortion relative to projected image 407 (and/or pixel corresponds to model I1, I2), because This transformation W1, W2 include the distortion variation of the first projected image 407-1 and the second projected image 407-2, and distortion variation includes But it is not limited to, trapezoidal distortion corresponding with the first projected image 407-1 and the second projected image 407-2.
Further, as shown, the public target position that virtual target image V is represented is located at the first projected image 407- Between 1 initial position and the initial position of the second projected image 407-2.In some embodiments, public target position is the The average value of the initial position of the initial position of one projected image 407-1 and the second projected image 407-2.
However, in other embodiments, public target position can be located at the first projected image 407-1 and second and throw One of them the position shadow image 407-2 (for example, projected image 407 changes by or without distortion, is moved to another The position of projected image 407).For example, virtual target image V can be positioned at the initial position of the first projected image 407-1 or the One in the initial position of two projected image 407-2, i.e., pixel corresponds to model I1, I2 in figure, and uses continuous adjustment ginseng Number indicates.For example, the adjustable parameter between 0 to 1 can be used, wherein " 0 " represents first when determining public target position The position (for example, the position of the first projected image 407-1 is public target position and/or " V=I1 ") of projected image 407-1, And " 1 " represent the second projected image 407-2 position (for example, the position of the second projected image be public target position and/or " V=I2 ").When continuously adjustable parameter is equal to 0.5, common target location is being averaged for projected image 407-1,407-2 position Value.Continuous adjusting parameter will be hereafter described in detail.
Attention is gone into Fig. 7, Fig. 7 shows computing device 201 and/or controller 220 (for example, in the side of method 300 In method block 307) correspondent transform W1, W2 be applied to additional first projected image 706-1 and additional second projected image 706-2, To generate the first projected image 707-1 and the second projected image 707-2 after conversion after conversion respectively.Fig. 7 further illustrates meter It calculates device 201 and/or controller 220 controls (for example, in method block 309 of method 300) first projector 207-1 and second Projector 207-2 is according to the second projected image after the first projected image 707-1 after the projection conversion of public target position and conversion 707-2 makes the first projected image 707-1 and the second projected image 707-2 heap on surface 215 after conversion after projected conversion It is folded.Projection is indicated with chain-dotted line in Fig. 7.Further, if transformation W1, W2 be not applied to additional projections image 706-1, 706-2, additional projections image 706-1,706-2 will be incident upon the position of projected image 407-1,407-2 not stacked respectively It sets.In addition, the first projected image 707-1 and the second projected image 707-2 after conversion corresponds in the position on surface 215 after conversion The public target position of virtual target image V in the CS of public domain.
Referring again to Fig. 1, in some embodiments, transformation W1, W2 are provided to rendering in the form of aligned data 109a Device 101 and/or content player 103 and/or distortion module 113 and/or device 108, so that rendering device 101, content are broadcast Put device 103, distortion variation one or more of module 113 and device 108 make the projection content of projector 107 be distorted change Change.In other words, additional projections image 706-1,706-2 represents the content to be projected for storing and/or generating in rendering device 101, Such as the first projected image 707-1 and the second projected image 707-2 after conversion represents the image to be projected, example after video recording and conversion Such as, shadow after the amendment being stacked with of additional projections image 706-1,706-2 after the distortion variation of correspondent transform W1, W2 Picture.
Referring again to Fig. 7, in fact, computing device 201 and/or controller 220 can be by adjusting the first projector The image of 207-1 and the second projector 207-2 input, further for controlling the first projector 207-1 and the second projector 207-2 is respectively according to the second projected image 707- after the first projected image 707-1 after the projection conversion of public target position and conversion 2。
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that there are also other many variations and alternative embodiments by the present invention.For example, When the first projected image 707-1 is aligned projection with the second projected image 707-2 after conversion after conversion, in some embodiments In, the second projected image 707-2 can be embedded into after conversion in the first projected image 707-1 after conversion, and vice versa.Change speech It, in these embodiments, one after the conversion in projected image 707-1,707-2 can generate heap when being embedded into another It folds (for example, projected image 707-2 is stacked to after projected image 707-1 may include one piece of white space and convert after conversion In white space).
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that can also change and alternative embodiment there are many possible.For example, After conversion the first projected image 707-1 and conversion after the second projected image 707-2 after movement between initial pictures 407 When public target position alignment projects, in some embodiments, the virtual projection image that image 707 is aligned may further become It changes, such as changes and/or convert by predefined trapezoidal distortion and/or distortion variation and/or other kinds of distortion.Change speech It, in these embodiments, image is aligned with the pre-defined function of corresponding model after transformation, to generate stacking.Similarly, one The correspondence model of a or multiple projectors 207 may represent it is some before transformation results, and consolidating unlike projector hardware There is the correspondence between pixel (hardware pixel).For example, the second projector can be with the first projector in the case where two projectors Distortion variation after location of pixels alignment, i.e., the first projector otherwise carries out distortion variation in advance.This configuration can So that for example, the manual alignment of a projector reaches " art " effect (first passing through corresponding model in advance), similarly, volume Outer stacking projector arrangement is to be automatically aligned to the first projector, to reduce hand labour.
Further, method 300 may extend to more than two projectors 207.For example, system 200 can be wrapped further Include one or more additional projections instrument 207 for projecting one or more additional projections images 407, additional projections image 407 It is stacked on the first projected image 407-1 and the second projected image 407-2, one or more projected images 407 and the first projection Image 407-1 and the second projected image 407-2 are initially misaligned, at least one sensor (such as camera 214) is further used In the correspondence image for obtaining one or more additional projections images 407, computing device 201 and the one or more additional projections instrument 207 communications, computing device 201 are further used for: determining one or more additional projections images 207 being moved to public target Position is (for example, the position that virtual projection image V is represented, the corresponding one or more volumes represented of additional pixels in public domain Outer projection's image) additional correspondent transform;And the one or more additional projections instrument 207 is controlled (for example, in addition to projector 207-1,207-2) each according to public target position project after the conversion of additional correspondent transform projected image.
Further, in these embodiments, public target position can be the first projected image 407-1, the second projection Image 407-2 and one or more additional projections image 407 (for example, what additional projections image 207 projected, and and perspective view As other similar projected images of 407-1,407-2) intermediate value of corresponding initial position.
Particularly, methods described herein can be stated by following mathematical way.
Assuming that multiple projector P1, P2, P3...Pn, wherein it is (general to respectively represent the projector that number is n by P1, P2, P3 Ground, is expressed as Pi, and i is 1 arbitrary integer for arriving n).
Further, projector P1, P2, P3...Pn corresponding pixel in public domain correspond to model be I1, I2, I3...In。
In public target region, a series of corresponding virtual projection target images of projector P1, P2, P3...Pn are determined For V1, V2, V3...Vn.Each virtual projection target image can be determined as any or all pixel correspond to model I1, The function of I2, I3...In.Such as: V1=f1 (I1, I2, I3...In), V2=f2 (I1, I2, I3...In) ... Vn=fn (I1,I2,I3...In)。
It is to be further understood that virtual projection target image V1, V2, V3...Vn can be located at public target position, example Such as, when stacked, one or more of virtual projection target image V1, V2, V3...Vn can be in different locations.
From these functions, the correspondent transform Wi applied to projector Pi can be determined, so that projector Pi is according to correspondence Virtual projection target image Vi rather than corresponding pixel corresponds to model Ii the initial non-stacking position of projection (for example, represent) Project image.
In some embodiments, correspondent transform Wi may include the additional change applied to each virtual projection target image Vi Ki is changed, so that it is the image after distortion variation (by attached that correspondent transform Wi, which makes the image projected from projector Pi be projected instrument projection, Transformation Ki is added to be determined), the image after distortion variation includes but is not limited to trapezoidal distortion image.
Determine that pixel corresponds to model Ii, such as in camera area (for example, public domain), as described above, the pixel pair Answer model Ii that can generate by using camera image;In addition, pixel correspondence between each pixel of each projector Pi can be with It is mapped to a position of camera area.As described above, these image/correspondences can be by obtaining the one of projector Pi projection The structure light test image (for example, structure light image 507-1,507-2 etc.) of series determines.
Anyway, which corresponds to model Ii and is located at showing in public domain, such as controller 220 and/or stores The pixel that device 222 uses corresponds to model.Other examples for falling into the public domain of the present embodiment range include but is not limited to 3D generation Battery limit (BL) domain, 2D screen area etc..Furthermore (, camera can not be used, and multiple optical sensors are placed in screen, similarly, knot Which (a little) projector pixel structure light image, which may be used to determine, is projected onto each optical sensor.)
Similarly, used public domain can be arbitrary, including but not limited to: camera area --- it is easy to real It applies;The view field of one of projector Pi;And screen area, when using and/or meaning screen mould, screen area It can be two-dimentional or three-dimensional.
Since type that is mobile and converting depends on the location and shape that the pixel that public domain is shown corresponds to model Ii, because This function fi (I1, I2, I3...In) and additional conversion Ki depends on used public domain.However, when camera 214 and throwing When the relative position of shadow instrument 207 is " close " for the size of whole system, camera area and view field may phases Seemingly, and further there may be similar results.
As described above, when the image of each projector Pi projection is stacked with, each virtual projection target image V1, Equally, V2, V3...Vn are equal to and/or are equal to common virtual projection target image V:V1=V2=...=Vn=V (f1= F2=...=fn=f).
Each virtual projection target image Vi=fi in the mean place of the initial position of projected image occurs when stacking (I1 ..., In)=(I1+I2+ ...+In)/n.Therefore, when only there are two projector (for example, n=2), such as in system 200, Vi=fi (I1, I2)=(I1+I2)/2.
In addition, corresponding to model (for example, one of throw when common virtual projection target image V is equal to one of input The initial position of shadow image) when, each virtual projection target image Vi=fi (I1 ... In)=IL, L are one in 1...n.
As described above, correspondent transform may include respectively by the first projected image and when being projected there are two image Two projected images are moved to the continuously adjustable parameter of public target position.For example, it is assumed that there are two projector (i.e. n=2), accordingly Correspond to model I1, I2 there are two pixel, the continuously adjustable parameter alpha can reflect pixel correspond in model I1, I2 where part Determine each virtual projection target image Vi=fi (α;II, I2)=α I1+ (1-α) I2.
When public target position is average value, α=0.5 (such as V1=V2=0.5I1+0.5I2).When public target position When being set to the position of one of initial projections image, α=0 or 1.For example, public target position is located at first and throws as α=1 The position of the initial pictures of shadow instrument, V1=V2=I1;As α=0, public target position is located at the initial pictures of the second projector Position, V1=V2=I2.
When stacking includes insertion, the image of a projector can distort the subgraph that variation is another projector, table Show as follows: V1=f1 (I1, I2)=I1, and V2=f2 (I1, I2)=I1 subgraph.
The trapezoidal distortion in two projector examples stacked can also be described as follows.Using common virtual projection target V, Additional trapezoidal distortion conversion K is used to carry out trapezoidal distortion to common virtual projection target V, and virtual projection target image is made to become K (V), the correspondent transform W1 and W2 further, determined for projector P1 and P2, arrives the image stack of each projector projects Common virtual projection target V after trapezoidal distortion.
Additional conversion can be by being described the exemplary conclusion of the above trapezoidal distortion, for example, by defining K (V) For any predefined transformation of virtual projection image.Alternative functions K (V) can include but is not limited to depth-width ratio amendment, be applied to Two-dimensional spline (distortion) of target V etc..
This application describes the method and systems for stacking projected image, and stacking projected image includes using public domain will be first Beginning projected image is transformed into virtual projection image in the public target position of public domain, and makes volume using identified conversion Outer projection's image is stacked with.
