Abstract
A projection apparatus comprising a projection unit provided with an optical system that projects an image, a housing that houses the projection unit, a first surface, provided at the housing, that functions as a distance reference surface that defines a distance from a projection window that the housing is provided with to a projection surface that projects the image and as a first placement surface used when setting the housing, and a second surface, provided at the housing, that perpendicularly intersects the first surface and functions as a second placement surface when setting the housing is provided.
Claims6
A projection apparatus comprising:
- a projection unit having an optical system that projects an image,
- a housing that houses the projection unit,
- an imaging unit that captures a projection surface on which the image is projected, and
- a projection region determining unit that determines a projection region on which the image can be projected by the projection unit, by use of a captured image of the projection surface captured by the imaging unit, wherein
- a surface of the housing that is used as a placement surface when setting the housing is parallel to the projection surface, and
- the projection unit performs an expansion and contraction process on an image projected on the projection surface while fixing in place one side closest to the housing within a region on which the projection unit can project the image on the projection surface, and projects the image onto the projection region, the expansion and contraction process being performed by processing an image signal.
