Abstract
A system and method for digital black level blending is provided. The system comprises: projectors located to project respective projector images overlapping in overlap regions; at least one sensor configured to acquire digital images of at least portions of the plurality of projector images; and a computing device configured to, for each given projector: determine, using the at least one sensor, respective correspondences between projected points of a given projector image and respective points of respective image modulators of other projectors of the projectors, the correspondences representing the respective points of the respective image modulators of the other projectors that correspond to overlap regions; determine respective brightness of the overlap regions; and, control pixels of an image modulator of the projector, and each of the respective image modulators, at least adjacent edge pixels corresponding to overlap region edges, to increase brightness in corresponding projector image regions using the respective brightness.
