Abstract

A method of aligning two portions of an image, the portions being projected by projectors on a surface to form respective projected portions of the image, a calibration pattern being embedded in each of the two portions, the method comprising capturing from the surface an image of the pattern from the projected portions, the calibration pattern extending across a combined projection area of the projectors; locating an overlap area according to locations of calibration points; determining projector image coordinates dependent upon locations in the overlap area; and aligning the two portions of the image according to the locations of control points and the locations in the overlap area.
