Abstract

A method corrects keystoning in a projector arbitrarily oriented with respect to a display surface. An elevation angle, a roll angle, and an azimuth angle of an optical axis of the projector are measured with respect to the display surface. A planar projective transformation matrix is determined from the elevation, roll, and azimuth angles. A source image to be projected by the projector is warped according to the planar projective transformation, and then projected onto the display surface.
