Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to develop a production support system that can perform accurate projection mapping of "three-dimensional object with curved surfaces", calculate composition of image and mask in real time, and project it to "moving three-dimensional object". Projection mapping is a technique to project a deformed image according to the shape of a three-dimensional object. In this research, we propose following methods : (1)produce a mask from a shadow of a three-dimensional object reflected on the wall using a projector automatically, (2)measuring the information of the converted image projected on a three-dimensional object by scanning the light,(3) developing a real-time imaging device using FPGA. With this development, we were able to construct a system that can perform projection mapping in real time on moving three-dimensional objects using inexpensive equipment.
