Distortion correction for projector

摘要

An image processing device for a projector including an image formation section that emits light of an image, and a projection system that projects the emitted light onto a projection surface. The image processing device has a distortion correction technique for images displayed on the projection surface. The image processing device has a target display area determination section that determines, in a display area serving as a reference on the projection surface, based on a current value of a parameter, any of target display areas set for values possibly taken by the parameter within an allowable range to be targeted on a distortion-free image for display on the projection surface; a reference formation area determination section that determines a reference formation area to be formed with a virtual distorted image and a correction application section that generates corrected image data for supply to the image formation section.

主权项

1. A projector comprising:
a light source configured to emit light; a light modulation section configured to modulate the light in accordance with an image data; a projection system configured to project the modulated light onto a projection surface as a projected image; a target display area determination section configured to determine a target display area within a reference display area, the reference display area corresponds to a possible range within which the target display area can be displayed; a target formation area determination section configured to:
determine a relationship between the reference display area and a reference formation area, the reference formation area is an area on the light modulation section to display an image on the entire reference display area; anddetermine a target formation area based on: (1) the relationship between the reference display area and the reference formation area, and (2) the target display area determined by the target display area determination section; and a correction application section configured to generate corrected image data for supply to the light modulation section by correcting any provided original image data to be formed in the light modulation section so that a distortion-free image is displayed on a projection surface.
