Abstract
The orientation of a camera associated with a first image is determined based on a shape of a perimeter of a corrected version of the first image. The corrected version of the first image has less perspective distortion relative to a reference image than the first image. The shape of the perimeter of the corrected version of the first image is also different from the shape of the perimeter of the first image. The first image is then projected onto a surface based on the orientation of the camera.
Claims44
A method, comprising:
- receiving a reference image and a first image, the first image having a perimeter having a first shape;
- determining a relative position of the first image and the reference image;
- using the first image, the reference image, and the relative position to generate a first corrected image having less perspective distortion relative to the reference image than the first image has, the first corrected image having a perimeter having a first corrected shape different from the first shape;
- using the first corrected shape to determine a focal length and rotation angles of a camera associated with the first image;
- and
- projecting the first image on a surface based on the focal length and rotation angles of the camera associated with the first image.
An article comprising a machine-readable medium on which are tangibly stored machine-executable instructions, the stored instructions being operable to cause a machine to:
- receive a reference image and a first image, the first image having a perimeter having a first shape;
- determine a relative position of the first image and the reference image;
- use the first image, the reference image, and the relative position to generate a first corrected image having less perspective distortion relative to the reference image than the first image has, the first corrected image having a perimeter having a first corrected shape different from the first shape;
- use the first corrected shape to determine a focal length and rotation angles of a camera associated with the first image;
- and
- project the first image on a surface based on the focal length and the rotation angles of the camera associated with the first image.
