Multi-projector geometric calibration
First Claim
1. A method of multi-projector correspondence mapping, comprising:
- projecting onto a scene a first sequence of patterns of light symbols that spatio-temporally encode two-dimensional position information in a first projection plane;
projecting onto the scene a second sequence of patterns of light symbols that spatio-temporally encode two-dimensional position information in a second projection plane;
capturing at a capture plane light patterns corresponding to the first and second sequences of patterns of light symbols reflected from the scene;
determining captured light symbol sequence codes from the captured light patterns; and
generating a correspondence mapping of the first projector plane and the second projector plane with respect to a reference coordinate system based at least in part on correspondence between the captured light symbol sequence codes and the first and second sequences of light symbol patterns.

Abstract
In one aspect, a first sequence of patterns of light symbols that spatio-temporally encode two-dimensional position information in a first projection plane is projected onto a scene. A second sequence of patterns of light symbols that spatio-temporally encode two-dimensional position information in a second projection plane is projected onto the scene. Light patterns corresponding to the first and second sequences of patterns of light symbols reflected from the scene are captured at a capture plane. Captured light symbol sequence codes are determined from the captured light patterns. A correspondence mapping of the first projector plane and the second projector plane with respect to a reference coordinate system is generated based at least in part on correspondence between the captured light symbol sequence codes and the first and second sequences of light symbol patterns.
