IMAGE WARPING AND LATERAL COLOR CORRECTION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for producing an image using an image producing system, comprising:
- characterizing a geometric distortion of an image by an optical system;
creating a correction image that has a distortion complementary to the geometric distortion in the corresponding image; and
producing the image using the correction image component.

Abstract
Color or grayscale images having optical elements induced geometric distortions can be corrected on individual color image component by creating correction image component having the complementary distortion; and applying the correction image component to the corresponding distorted color image component.

11. A computer-readable medium having a set of computer-executable instructions for performing a method for producing an image using an image producing system, wherein the method comprises:
-
characterizing a geometric distortion introduced to each image component of the image by the image producing system; creating a correction image component for each image component of the image, wherein said correction image component has a distortion complementary to the geometric distortion in the corresponding image component; and producing the image using the correction image component.

12. A device for use in an imaging system for correcting a geometric distortion introduced by the imaging system, comprising:
an image warping engine capable of creating a correction image component for each image component of the image, wherein said correction image component has a distortion complementary to a geometric distortion in the corresponding image component introduced by the system during imaging. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

16. A display system for displaying an image, comprising:
-
an image engine having an array of individually addressable pixels; and a control unit comprising a warping engine for creating a correction color image component for each color image component of the image, wherein said correction color image component has a distortion complementary to a geometric distortion in the corresponding color image component introduced by the system during imaging. - View Dependent Claims (17)

19. A method for displaying an image, comprising:
-
displaying an image having a second shape from an array of pixels arranged in a first shape, where the array of pixels is an array of light emitting pixels or light modulating pixels; providing data to the pixels such that the second shape of the displayed image is substantially the same as the first shape of the array of pixels.

20. A method for displaying an image, comprising:
-
displaying an image having a second shape from an array of pixels arranged in a first shape, where the array of pixels is an array of light emitting pixels or light modulating pixels; providing data to the pixels such that a subgroup of pixels are turned off such that the second shape of the displayed image is closer to the shape of the entire pixel array than if the data was not provided.

21. A method for displaying an image, comprising:
-
providing light from an array of pixels arranged in a rectangle; providing modulation data to a subgroup of the array of pixels such that only the subgroup is modulated with image data, wherein the subgroup are disposed in a geometric shape that is not a rectangle, and wherein the light beam from the subgroup of pixels has a corresponding shape that is not a rectangle; directing the modulated light through an optical engine so as to change the cross section of the light beam from the subgroup of pixels, such that when the light beam is incident on a target for viewing by a viewer, the shape of the viewed image is substantially rectangular.

-
22. A method for displaying an image on a target, comprising:
-
providing a series of light beams of different colors onto a spatial light modulator; modulating a subgroup of pixels of the spatial light modulator with image data for each color of the series of light beams; wherein the subgroup of pixels for a first color has a different shape than the subgroup of pixels for a second color. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
