A first image including a first line segment is projected onto a projection surface to acquire first imaging data of a first projected image. A second image including a first mark and a second mark overlapping the first line segment is projected onto the projection surface to acquire second imaging data of a second projected image. Based on a positional relation between a third mark and a fourth mark located on a second line segment corresponding to the first line segment and a positional relation between the first mark and the second mark located on the first line segment, relation data that associates the first mark and the third mark and associates the second mark and the fourth mark is generated. Correction data is generated based on the relation data. Image data is corrected based on the correction data. A corrected image is projected onto the projection surface.

Adaptive waveform non-linearity compensation for laser beam scanning displays

The techniques disclosed herein provide apparatus, methods and systems that adaptively adjust the signal waveform (or waveshape) of the drive signal to a slow-scan mirror to compensate for non-linearities observed in the slow-scan feedback signal from a slow-scan mirror. Over large scan angles and high temperatures, the slow-scan mirror in a laser beam scanning device may exhibit a nonlinear response to the drive signal that results in poor image quality issues such as bright lines, bands in the display image, and image distortion. The presently disclosed technologies track the linearity performance of the overall system by detecting non-linearities in waveform of the slow-scan feedback signal real time, and consequently apply a pre-distortion to the drive waveform to compensate for these detected non-linearities. The parameters, logic and blocks of the control may be implemented in hardware, software or combinations thereof.
