Systems, devices, and techniques related to matching features between a dynamic vision sensor and one or both of a dynamic projector or another dynamic vision sensor are discussed. Such techniques include casting a light pattern with projected features having differing temporal characteristics onto a scene and determining the correspondence(s) based on matching changes in detected luminance and temporal characteristics of the projected features.

The invention provides a method for light projection in the interior of an automotive vehicle. The method includes sensing, by at least one sensor, the presence of an object or person in the interior of the vehicle, wherein the sensor comprises a plurality of image sensing devices. A protection zone is defined by using the data of the at least one sensor, thus obtaining a three-dimensional protection zone. A first light pattern is projected with a first pattern zone by means of a first projector associated to a first image sensing device. A second light pattern is projected with a second pattern zone by means of a second projector associated to a second image sensing device, wherein the first pattern zone and/or the second pattern zone are projected over the protection zone and wherein the light pattern forms a projected image on an interior surface of the automotive vehicle.

A device may provide, to a camera and a projector of a portable projection mapping device, first instructions for calibrating the camera and the projector, and may receive, based on the first instructions, calibration parameters for the camera and the projector. The device may calculate a stereo calibration between the camera and the projector based on the calibration parameters, and may provide, to the camera, second instructions for recognizing a reference instrument associated with the portable projection mapping device. The device may receive, based on the second instructions, binocular images, and may determine additional parameters based on the binocular images. The device may determine recognition parameters for recognizing the reference instrument, based on the binocular images and the additional parameters. The device may process the recognition parameters and the stereo calibration, with an optical tracking model, to generate and provide overlay visualization data to the portable projection mapping device.

A borescope includes an electronic image capture unit having two image capture sensors as a borescope lens at an end of a shaft that is designed for being inserted into a borescope opening, a position and alignment of the image capture sensors in relation to one another being suitable for ascertaining three-dimension (3D) information using triangulation; and a pattern projector configured to project a pattern into a common recording region of the image capture sensors. The pattern projector includes: a fundamentally optically imaging light-guide bundle, which is made up of statistically distributed optical fibers having differing transmittances, to whose input surface a light source is coupled and whose output surface is aligned with the region captured by the image capture sensors.

A projection apparatus includes a main body configured to project and display an image from a projection port of the main body; and an operation detection apparatus detachably attached to the main body and configured to acquire operation information relating to an operation on a projection screen performed by an operator. The main body includes an attachment portion provided on a surface of the main body on which the projection port is provided. The attachment portion is a portion where the operation detection apparatus attached to the main body.

The projection lens includes: a third optical system that projects an image light toward a screen and that includes an emission lens located on a most projection surface side; and a light receiver. The light receiver receives an optical signal from the remote controller. The light receiver is attached to a position capable of receiving the optical signal transmitted through an emission lens, specifically, to a holding frame, and more specifically, to a first surface of the holding frame.

An interactive projection system and a projection method thereof are provided. The interactive projection system includes a projection region, a projection device, a touch device and a host. The touch device is movably disposed on the projection region. The projection device projects a corresponding input interface on a touch sensing surface of the touch device according to a position of the touch device, so as to improve usage convenience of the projection system.

A projection device includes: a projection unit configured to project image light to a projection target; an image-capturing unit configured to capture an image of a range including the projection target to generate a captured image; a communication unit; and a control unit configured to transmit the captured image to an information processing device by the communication unit and cause a reception image received by the communication unit from the information processing device to be projected by the projection unit. The projection unit includes an image light forming unit configured to form image light and a projection optical system configured to project the image light formed by the image light forming unit toward the projection target. The image-capturing unit includes an imaging element configured to receive light through the projection optical system.

Systems and methods to reduce the appearance of a seam in an image reflected onto a mirror array from a screen is provided. The systems and methods may include a light source to emit light into a seam between a pair of mirrors of the mirror array; a camera for taking a picture of the image displayed on the screen and yielding image data from the picture; and a control system in communication with the light source and the camera. The control system may be operable to cause the light source to emit light of a first color into a first portion of the seam and to emit light of a second color into a second portion of the seam based on the image data, thereby providing colored light in the seam to substantially match colors in the image reflected onto pair of mirrors adjacent to the seam.
