Projection Alignment Correction for In-Vehicle Projector-Camera System

Abstract

In this study, we propose a projection registration method for the projections from a continuously moving vehicle for driver vision assistance during night driving. Accordingly, we employ a context-aware projection technique with adaptive pixel map- ping generation. Because vehicle movements lead to misalignment of the projection latency, a co-axial projector-camera con- figuration or high frame rate processing cannot solve this problem. However, adaptive pixel mapping corrects pixel mapping according to the vehicle speed and achieves a misalignment-free dynamic projection mapping. The effectiveness of the proposed method was evaluated through experiments using a moving projector-camera system mounted on a motorized linear stage.
