Abstract
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for projecting a panoramic image, according to the method, the steps include generating an image on an image generation surface, and then projecting the generated image on a projection surface to obtain a panoramic projected image, the points of the generated image being projected on the projection surface according to a non uniform distribution determined as a function of at least one parameter of a set comprising the shape of the generated image, the shape of the projection surface, and the position of an observation point of the projected image, in relation to the projection surface.

Method for projecting a panoramic image comprising:
- generating an image on an image generation surface, and
- projecting the image generated on a projection surface, to obtain a panoramic projected image, the points of the generated image being projected on the projection surface according to a non uniform distribution determined as a function of at least one parameter of a set comprising the shape of the generated image, the shape of the projection surface, and the position of an observation point of the projected image, in relation to the projection surface.
Device for projecting a panoramic image, comprising:
- a device for generating an image on an image generation surface;
- and
- an optical projection device for projecting the generated image on a projection surface, to obtain a panoramic projected image, the projection device being configured so that the points of the generated image are projected on the projection surface according to a non uniform distribution determined as a function of at least one parameter of a set comprising the shape of the generated image, the shape of the projection surface, and the position of an observation point of the projected image, in relation to the projection surface.
