A Self-Correcting Projector

We describe a calibration and rendering technique for a projector that can render rectangular images under keystoned position. The projector utilizes a rigidly attached camera to form a stereo pair. We describe a very easy to use technique for calibration of the projector-camera pair using only black planar surfaces. We present an efficient rendering method to pre-warp images so that they appea...

Thus, while science is tentative, it also seems to have a system for correcting whatever mistakes arise. It powerfully explains and justifies the authority of science. Self-correction thus often serves emblematical...
