Double stacked projection
First Claim
1. A method of producing from a received image and a threshold image a first image and a second image, comprising:
- determining an upper bound image and a lower bound image based on pixel values of each of the received image and the threshold image;
producing the first image and the second image by using a smoothing filter process in combination with the upper bound image, the lower bound image, the received image and the threshold image, wherein the first image has a different spatial content frequency than the second image based on the smoothing filter process;
projecting the first image onto a surface by a first projector; and
projecting the second image onto the surface by a second projector,wherein the first image and the second image have pixel values that are within illumination limits of the first projector and the second projector.

Abstract
A method for producing a first output image and a second output image for being projected by a first projector and a second projector, respectively, is disclosed. The method comprises: providing a source image comprising a plurality of pixels, each pixel having a source value, providing an inverted threshold value for each pixel of the plurality of pixels, and generating thereof a temporary image comprising a temporary value for each pixel of the plurality of pixels. The method further comprises: generating the first output image comprising a first output value for each pixel of the plurality of pixels, the first output value being generated from the temporary value and the source value for each pixel, and generating the second output image comprising a second output value for each pixel of the plurality of pixels, the second output value being generated from the temporary value.
