A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. The system provides feedback to the user on how their designs may appear in a virtual storefront, such as through virtual reality or augment reality techniques.

An image display apparatus includes an image forming unit and a vehicle provided with the image display apparatus. The image forming unit includes a light source unit configured to emit light, an optical scanner configured to scan the light emitted from the light source unit two-dimensionally in a main scanning direction and a sub-scanning direction, and an intermediate image forming unit configured to form an intermediate image by the light scanned by the optical scanner. The image forming unit satisfies 0.3<Rm/L<3, where Rm denotes a radius of curvature of the intermediate image forming unit in the main scanning direction, and L denotes distance between a reference point when the optical scanner deflects and scans the light and a center of the intermediate image formed on the intermediate image forming unit. In the vehicle, the image display apparatus indicates the intermediate image to a driver as a virtual image.

A video processing method includes: receiving an omnidirectional image/video content corresponding to a viewing sphere, generating a sequence of projection-based frames according to the omnidirectional image/video content and a viewport-based cube projection layout, and encoding the sequence of projection-based frames to generate a bitstream. Each projection-based frame has a 360-degree image/video content represented by rectangular projection faces packed in the viewport-based cube projection layout. The rectangular projection faces include a first rectangular projection face, a second rectangular projection face, a third rectangular projection face, a fourth rectangular projection face, a fifth rectangular projection face, and a sixth rectangular projection face split into partial rectangular projection faces. The first rectangular projection face corresponds to user's viewport, and is enclosed by a surrounding area composed of the second rectangular projection face, the third rectangular projection face, the fourth rectangular projection face, the fifth rectangular projection face, and the partial rectangular projection faces.

To display an image even on a projection surface having complex unevenness similarly to a flat, a projection device includes: a storage unit storing at least a pattern image for detecting distortion depending on a state of the surface, an expected image associated with a displayed image of the pattern image displayed on a flat, and a desired projection image; a projection unit projecting an image including the pattern image and the desired projection image; an image acquisition unit acquiring a displayed image of the pattern image, and extracting a distortion image; a distortion amount calculating unit calculating a distortion parameter for distortion by comparing the expected image with the distortion image; a distortion correction processing unit correcting the projected desired projection image by using the distortion parameter; and an image output unit outputting, to the projection unit, image data including the corrected desired projection image and the pattern image.

A vehicular display system includes a camera configured to be positioned on a vehicle and a processing system for processing image data captured by the camera. The image data is representative of a scene viewed by the camera. The processing system generates an output representative of an image having three image panes including a central image pane derived from a first subset of captured image data and two side image panes derived from second and third subsets of captured image data. Each of the side image panes are shaped and arranged with respect to the central image pane to have non-parallel upper edges and non-parallel lower edges. A display device, responsive to the output generated by the processing system, displays the image for viewing by a driver of the vehicle.

The present invention includes a) creating geometry data of a theater screen, and mapping position information of seating on the geometry data to reconstruct a virtual theater structure, b) generating a grid mesh for each seat of the theater screen without changing edges of the theater screen, and c) generating a compensation map with minimized distortion of the grid mesh for each seat, and based on this, single-sampling compensating a pixel of an image to be displayed on the theater screen by the compensation map.

A projection device including a processor circuit is provided. A reverse-warped image is generated by the processor circuit according to an input image and a second mapping table. The projection device is adapted to project the reverse-warped image onto the projection screen. The second mapping table is converted from a first mapping table according to a plurality of warped feature points caused according to a first calibration pattern and a second calibration pattern. A projection system and an image calibration method are also provided. Therefore, an undistorted and a non-warped image may be formed on a curved projection screen and be viewed by a viewer.

The invention provides a projector calibration method for forming a spherical target image at a viewing point. The projector calibration method includes the following steps. A first preset image is projected by a first projector to a dome screen, and a first deformed image is obtained by capturing an image of the dome screen using a first camera. A spatial relationship between the first projector, the first camera, and the dome screen is calculated according to the first preset image and the first deformed image. A first prewarp image is generated according to a target image, a spatial relationship between the first projector and the dome screen, and a spatial relationship between the dome screen and the viewing point. Projection is performed by the first projector according to the first prewarp image. In addition, a projection system using the method is also provided.

Systems and methods for communicating avionic data to a non-avionic lightweight client device, a method includes, for example, the steps of: receiving avionic data from a plurality of avionic systems modifying the received avionic data, by adding or deleting or fusing data; displaying the modified data on one or more non-avionic lightweight clients. Developments describe the use of a wireless access point associated with a secure gateway, multiplexed communications, data sending and/or display adjustments depending on target resources, display distributions, capturing the subjective view of the wearer of the non-avionic device using a worn camera, or cooperation between flight crew members. The lightweight clients may be connected objects (for example earpiece, watch, telephone, tablet, glasses, etc.). Some software aspects are described.

A projection image generation unit 81 applies a plurality of projection schemes that use the radius of a visual field region of a fisheye-lens camera to an image in which an object including a straight line is imaged by the fisheye-lens camera, and generates a plurality of projection images. A projection scheme determination unit 82 selects one of the plurality of projection images on the basis of the linearity of each of the straight lines included in the projection images and determines a projection scheme on the basis of the selected projection image. An output unit 83 outputs an internal parameter of the fisheye-lens camera that corresponds to the determined projection scheme.
