Automatic Registration of Multi-Projector Based on Coded Structured Light

Abstract

Multi-projector display systems are widely used in virtual reality, flight simulators, and other entertainment systems. Geometric distortion and color inconsistency are two key problems to be solved. In this paper a geometric correction principle is theoretically demonstrated and a consistency principle of geometric correction is first proposed. A new method of automatic registration of a multi-projector on a curved screen is put forward. Two pairs of binocular-cameras are used to reconstruct the curved screen. To capture feature points of the curved screen precisely, a group of red-blue coded structured light images is designed to be projected onto the screen. Geometric homography between each projector and the curved screen is calculated to gain a pre-warp template. Work which can gain a seamless display is illustrated by a six-projector system on the curved screen.
