  2. Curved Screen Displays Multiple overlapping projectors on curved screens Goal : • Replace single-proj • Higher resoltn/brightness • Sub-pixel auto-alignment • Parametric solution • Low cost infrastructure Markets Planetarium Curved screens

  3. Dome Projection Techniques Edge-Blended (Tiled/Mosaic) Display • Sub-Frames w/Spherical Mapping & Edge-Blends

  4. 1 Dome Screen 2 4 3

  5. OutlineSeamless Curved Display • Multi-projector low cost method • Simplified Quadric Image Transfer • Calibration with camera-pair • Parametric Rendering solution

  6. Related Work • Conventional Displays • Manual alignment, expensive infrastructure • [Jupiter,Trimensions, CAVE, Planetaria, Flight Simulators] • Planar Screens • Camera in loop, auto calibration, low cost • Exploit homography parameters • [Raskar98,Surati99,Chen00,Brown02 ……] • Curved Screens • Non-parametric solutions • [Jarvis97,Raskar98,Yang01 …] • Parametric • ?, Siggraph 2003

  7. Parametric Approach • Advantages • Lower camera resolution • Tolerance for pixel localization errors • Faster calibration • Efficient well-defined warping • Avoid look up tables

  8. X j i Parametric Image Transfer X i j Planar Homography Quadric Transfer

  9. Planar projective transfer What is homography ? • Two images of 3D points on a plane are related by a 3x3 matrix M i j = A3 x 3 i j Proj 1 Proj 2

  10. What is homography ? Two images of 3D points on a plane Related by a 3x3 matrix ~ j = A3 x 3 i A3 x 3 a1 a2 a3 b1 b2 b3 c1 c2 c3 jx jy 1 ix iy 1 = k j i jx = (a •i)/ (c •i) Proj 1 Proj 2 jy = (b •i)/ (c •i)
