An iterative compensation approach without linearization of projector responses for multiple-projector system.

Abstract

We aim to realize a new and simple compensation method that robustly handles multiple-projector systems without recourse to the linearization of projector response functions. We introduce state equations, which distribute arbitrary brightness among the individual projectors, and control the state equations according to the feedback from a camera. By employing the color-mixing matrix with gradient of projector responses, we compensate the controlled brightness input to each projector. Our method dispenses with cooperation among multiple projectors as well as time-consuming photometric calibration. Compared with existing methods, our method is shown to offer superior compensation performance and a more effective way of compensating multiple-projector systems.
