Systems and methods are provided for alternating projection of content and capturing an image. The method includes steps of projecting, by a projection device, content at a first rate, projecting, by the projection device, a capture frame at a second rate, and capturing, by an image capture device, an image including the capture frame at the second rate, wherein capturing the image comprises capturing the image when the capture frame is projected. Systems and methods provided herein may provide increased tracking accuracy by a projecting a capture frame that does not obscure features in the image.

A method of presenting a visible representation of infrared (IR) radiation information onto an observed real world scene based on IR radiation emitted from said observed real world scene, using a thermography arrangement comprising an IR imaging system, a visible light imaging system, and a visible light projecting system.

A projection apparatus and a control method thereof are provided. The projection apparatus includes a processor, a sensor, and a projection module. When a command corresponding to a standby mode is received, the processor sets the projection apparatus to a first sub-standby mode. The sensor is enabled to sense whether there is a living object located in a sensing area outside the projection apparatus. The standby mode is maintained as the first sub-standby mode in response to sensing that the living object is not in the sensing area. The standby mode is set to be switched to a second sub-standby mode in response to sensing that the living object is in the sensing area. A maximum power consumption of the first sub-standby mode is less than a maximum power consumption of the second sub-standby mode. In the first and second sub-standby modes, the projection module is not enabled.

A technology capable of suitably correcting a geometric distortion caused by a shape of a curved surface of a screen or the like and obtaining a suitable image easily viewable for a user is provided. A projector is an image display apparatus configured to project an image onto a screen and includes a projection lens arranged at a first position and a camera arranged at a second position. When the screen has a curved surface, a camera image obtained by capturing a first image projected on the screen by the camera is acquired, and a geometric transformation for correcting a geometric distortion caused by the curved surface seen from a first virtual viewpoint position (virtual viewpoint) is performed for an image to be displayed based on information of the camera image, the first position, and the second position, and a post-transformation image is projected onto the screen.
