First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for correcting image distortion in an image projected on a surface comprising the operations of:
- measuring a first distance between an image projection system and a surface using a first measurement device;
measuring a second distance between the image projection system and the surface using a second measurement device spatially separated from the first measurement device;
calculating a first slope of the surface with respect to a projection path of the image projection system, the first slope corresponding to a first angular offset of the surface with respect to the image projection system;
calculating a second slope of the surface with respect to the projection path of the image projection system, the second slope corresponding to a second angular offset of the surface with respect to the image projection system;
creating a transform using at least the first slope and the second slope; and
applying the transform to a first image, thereby creating a second image.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium, readable by a computer processor and having instructions stored thereon for causing one or more processors to:
-
obtain a measure of a first distance between an image projection system and a surface using a first measurement device; obtain a measure of a second distance between the image projection system and the surface using a second measurement device that is spatially separated from the first measurement device; calculate a first slope of the surface with respect to a projection path of the image projection system, the first slope corresponding to a first angular offset of the surface with respect to the image projection system; calculate a second slope of the surface with respect to the projection path of the image projection system, the second slope corresponding to a second angular offset of the surface with respect to the image projection system; create a transform based, at least in part, on the first and second slopes; and apply the transform to a first image to create a second image. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
