Systems and Methods for Providing an Array Projector

摘要

Embodiments of systems and methods for providing an array projector are disclosed. The array projector includes an array of projection components and an image processing system. Each of the projection components projects a lower resolution image onto a common surface area and the overlapping lower resolution image combine to form a higher resolution image. The image processor provides lower resolution image data to each of the projection components in the array. The lower resolution image data is generated using the image processor by applying super resolution algorithms lower resolution image data received by the image processor.

主权项

1. A projector array comprising:
a plurality of projection components wherein the plurality of projection components are configured in an array, each of the plurality of projection components receive lower resolution image data and project a lower resolution image onto a mutual projection surface based upon the received lower resolution image data and the lower resolution images projected by the plurality of projection components combine to form a higher resolution image; a memory; and a processor configured by an application stored in the memory to:
receive image data for a higher resolution image to be projected by the projector array from an external source,apply inverse super resolution image processing algorithms to the received higher resolution image data to generate lower resolution image data for the lower resolution image to be projected by for each of the plurality of projection components wherein the lower resolution image projected by each of the plurality components has a lower resolution than the higher resolution image, andprovide the lower resolution image data to the plurality of projection components.
