Communication system and method for controlling the same

A communication system comprising:

• a projection unit configured to project an image on a projection surface;
• a first imaging unit disposed on or in the projection surface and configured to capture an image of an object positioned in front of the projection surface;
• a second imaging unit spaced away from, and directed or facing towards, the projection surface and configured to capture another image of the object;
• a determination unit configured to:
• (i) determine a processing parameter for image processing to be performed on the object image captured by the first imaging unit or on the another object image captured by the second imaging unit, by comparing a distance between the projection surface and the object to at least one predetermined distance threshold;
• and (ii) determine whether to perform the image processing on the object image or on the another object image by comparing the distance between the first projection surface and the object to the at least one predetermined distance threshold;
• a processing unit configured to perform the image processing on the determined one of the object image or the another object image based on the processing parameter determined by the determination unit;
• and
• a transmission unit configured to transmit the object image having undergone the image processing or the another object image having undergone the image processing to an external apparatus.

A method for controlling a communication system, the method comprising:

• projecting, as a first projection, an image on a first projection surface;
• capturing, from a position that is on or in the first projection surface, an image of an object positioned in front of the first projection surface;
• capturing, from a position that is spaced away from, and in a direction towards or facing, the first projection surface, another image of the object;
• determining a processing parameter for image processing to be performed on the captured object image or on the captured another object image, by comparing a distance between the first projection surface and the object to at least one predetermined distance threshold;
• determining whether to perform the image processing on the object image or on the another object image by comparing the distance between the first projection surface and the object to the at least one predetermined distance threshold;
• performing the image processing on the determined one of the object image or the another object image based on the determined processing parameter;
• and
• projecting, as a second projection, the object image having undergone the image processing or the another object image having undergone the image processing on a second projection surface.
