Method of correcting for distortion of projected image, distortion correcting program used in same method, and projection-type image display device
First Claim
1. A method for correcting for distortion of a projected image caused by projecting an image with a projection optical axis being tilted from normal to a screen, said method comprising:
- a first step of moving a pointer on said screen according to operations of an operator, of sequentially displaying correction reference points corresponding to correction points for said projected image and being designated by operations of said operator on said screen, and then of displaying a correction contour frame on said screen, wherein said correction contour frame is obtained by connecting at least two being adjacent to each other out of said correction reference points;
a second step of determining said correction contour frame according to an instruction for determining said correction contour frame from said operator and of calculating a correction parameter according to a distance between each of said correction points for said projected image and said correction reference points of said correction contour frame corresponding to each of said correction points; and
a third step of correcting for said distortions of said projected image based on said correction parameter.

Abstract
A distortion correcting method is provided which is capable of correcting for distortions of projected images without a need for additionally placing a display unit or a test image displaying unit and by a low-cost configuration and by a simple operation. The distortion correcting method includes a first step of moving a pointer on a screen according to operations of an operator and of sequentially displaying correction reference points which correspond to correction points for a projected image and being designated by operations of the operator on the screen, and then of displaying a correction contour frame on the screen, wherein the correction contour frame is obtained by connecting at least two being adjacent to each other out of the correction reference points, a second step of determining the correction contour frame according to an instruction for determining the correction contour frame from the operator and of calculating a correction parameter according to a distance between each of the correction points for the projected image and the correction reference points of the correction contour frame corresponding to each of the correction points, and a third step of correcting for distortions of projected images based on the correction parameter.
