Shown in FIG. 24 shows a functional block diagram of the video signal control device of this embodiment.
- the video signal control device has split-screen video input terminals 242 1, 2422, 242 3, 2424, a screen status monitoring camera video input terminal 2430, and split video output terminals 2442, 2442, It has 2443 and 2444.
- Either the video signal from the divided video input terminal or the video signal of the test pattern image generator 2470 is selected by the video signal switch 2460 and supplied to the divided video output terminal.
- Each of the divided video signals is divided by a video playback device 245 1, 2452, 245 3, and 245 connected to the divided video input terminal, such as a DVD-ROM or the like, in which the video data assigned to each projector is divided and stored. Supplied by playing video media 249 1, 249 2, 249 3, 2494.
- the video signal control device shown in FIG. 24 may not have an image corrector.
- the images of each project are seamlessly connected on the screen, and a uniform image is obtained.
- some transformation of the image and conversion of the color characteristics of the image were necessary.
- this image correction was performed by hardware that executes in real time.
- video data obtained by performing image correction processing in advance on the divided video data corresponding to each projector is stored in a video medium such as a DVD-ROM.
- the image reproducing devices 245 1, 2452, 2453, and 2454 realize a seamless image connection on a screen simply by supplying the image corrected video data to the projector.
- the image correction processing device becomes unnecessary.
- the sixth embodiment is different from the fifth embodiment in that the image reproducing apparatus 249 1, 249 2, 249 3, 24 94 is replaced with an image reproducing processing apparatus having an image correcting function constituted by a function block shown in FIG. Is replaced by

- An image reproducing apparatus including a video storage / reproduction circuit 2533 for reading out image-processed video data from the temporary storage medium 2541 and outputting the video data to the video output terminal 2552 is different from the projector in the fifth embodiment. System.
- the image correction processing optimal for the projector end ray system is performed according to the image correction amount for each projector for the divided image data corresponding to each projector.
- Offline image correction is performed beforehand according to 2 52 3 2, and the corrected video data is temporarily stored in the temporary storage medium 2 5 4 1. This is realized by reading out the image-corrected data from the temporary storage medium 254 1 and playing it back, when playing back images with a seamless image connection using the projector array.
- a processing device that executes an image correction process for realizing a seamless image connection in real time is required. Even if an image correction circuit that is too slow to process the image or an image processing emulation using software can be used, the image can be correctly synthesized on the screen. Further, in the fifth embodiment, when the image correction amounts are different among a plurality of projector array systems, it is impossible to correctly synthesize images on a screen. The problem is solved by performing image processing with the optimal correction amount for each ray system.
- a plurality of video projectors are arranged so that the maximum display range of the image projected on the screen by the video projector has an overlapping area having a certain width or more with the maximum display range of the adjacent projection video. Geometry and color appropriate for each input image data By simply supplying the converted image, the images projected by multiple image projectors can be connected smoothly and seamlessly to form a single screen as a whole. This has the effect of simplifying the accuracy required for position adjustment and optical system adjustment of the video projector.
- each image projected by multiple video projectors is The problem of forming a single screen as a whole by smoothly connecting them can be solved only by controlling the image conversion means. In this way, a system configuration that can cope with fluctuations in the installation position of the image projector and the adjustment point of the optical system only by signal processing can be realized, and the implementation cost is lower than control of the signal processing circuit system. Since there is no need for optical and mechanical control means that are difficult to achieve high control accuracy, an economical and highly reliable multi-projection video display device can be realized.
- each image projected by multiple video projectors is connected seamlessly and smoothly, and the geometrical shape of the image and the amount of color conversion to solve the problem of composing one screen as a whole are automatically calculated, Since there is a means for automatically controlling the image conversion means, there is an effect that the adjustment can be performed economically and with high precision as compared with the conventional method in which the image adjustment work is performed visually and manually.
- the problem of seamlessly connecting each image projected by a plurality of video projectors seamlessly to compose one screen is described as follows: the image projected by the video projector and the adjacent image So that the overlap in the part connects smoothly with the non-overlap Since the images of the multiple parts are realized by optical addition of the light beams from both video projectors, the effect of the placement position error of the video projector and the control error of the image geometric deformation means may cause blurring of the image at the overlapping part of the image. Appears. For this reason, image degradation due to errors in image connection parts is reduced due to the human visual characteristic that cognitive sensitivity to continuous changes such as image blur is less sensitive than cognitive sensitivity to discontinuous changes in the image. This has the effect of making it difficult for humans to detect.
- a data converter having a function of converting at least a geometric shape and a color characteristic to video signal data obtained by digitally converting an input video signal by a video projector, and an arithmetic and control unit for controlling the data converter
- the effect on the system capability of the multi-projection video display device is the same as above, but even when the video projector alone is used, the projected image can be geometrically deformed or the brightness can be changed.
- the distribution can be converted, and even if the optical axis of the image projector is not perpendicular to the screen, an image having an accurate image shape and brightness distribution can be reproduced on the screen. This has the effect of reducing restrictions on the arrangement relationship with the projector.
- a plurality of image data can be combined into one (or a plurality of) images with a simpler video device. At this time, it is possible to make the seams generated between the image data less noticeable.
- the present invention is applicable to a plurality of image data such as a multi-projection. This allows the data to be displayed as one (or more) images.
