Correcting luminance non-uniformity in a tiled projection system
First Claim
1. A method of correcting luminance non-uniformity in a tiled projection system comprising;
- projecting with a plurality of projection devices a composite image wherein the composite image comprises a plurality of tiled images on a display surface with an overall luminance, each of the plurality of tiled images being projected by an associated first projection device and an associated second projection device redundant with the associated first projection device; and
correcting a luminance non-uniformity of the plurality of tiled images, wherein the luminance non-uniformity is based on a dimmed at least one of the plurality of tiled images resulting from a first energy output of the associated first projection device associated with the dimmed at least one of the plurality of tiled images, wherein correcting the luminance non-uniformity comprises raising energy output of the associated second projection device associated with the dimmed at least one of the plurality of tiled images.

Abstract
A method of correcting luminance non-uniformity in a tiled projection system is disclosed. The method includes projecting with a plurality of projection devices a composite image wherein the composite image comprises a plurality of tiled images on a display surface with an overall luminance and correcting a luminance non-uniformity of the plurality of tiled images, wherein the luminance non-uniformity is based on a dimmed at least one of the plurality of tiled images, wherein correcting the luminance non-uniformity comprises utilizing at least one of the plurality of projection devices to adjust the overall luminance of the plurality of tiled images on the display surface.

15. A multi-projector system comprising:
-
a plurality of projection devices; a tiled display including a plurality of display tiles for displaying a substantially tiled image, wherein each of the plurality of display tiles is configured to receive a projected image from a first projection device of the plurality of projection devices and to receive the projected image from a second projection device of the plurality of projection devices and wherein the tiled display comprises an overall luminance; a processing unit coupled to the at least two projection devices and the tiled display wherein the processing unit includes logic for correcting a luminance non-uniformity of the plurality of display tiles, wherein the luminance non-uniformity is based on a dimmed one of the plurality of display tiles resulting from a first energy output of the first projection device associated with the dimmed at least one of the plurality of display tiles, wherein correcting the luminance non-uniformity comprises raising energy output of the second projection device associated with the dimmed at least one of the plurality of display tiles. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
