The quality of every dynamic multi-projection mapping system is limited by the quality of the projector to tracking device calibration. Common problems with poor calibration result in noticeable artifacts for the user, such as ghosting and seams. In this work we introduce a new, fully automated calibration algorithm that is tailored to reduce these artifacts, based on consumer-grade hardware. We achieve this goal by repurposing a structured-light scanning setup. A structured-light scanner can generate 3D geometry based on a known intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of its components (projector and RGB camera). We revert this process by providing the resulting 3D model to determine the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of our setup (including those of a variety of tracking systems). Our system matches features and solves for all parameters in a single pass while respecting the lower quality of our sensory input.

X-ray multi-projection imaging (XMPI) has the potential to provide rotation-free 3D movies of optically opaque samples. The absence of rotation enables superior imaging speed and preserves fragile sample dynamics by avoiding the centrifugal forces introduced by conventional rotary tomography. Here, we present our XMPI observations at the ID19 beamline (ESRF, France) of 3D dynamics in melted aluminum with 1000 frames per second and 8 µm resolution per projection using the full dynamical range of our detectors.

Article Synopsis
  • * The article introduces a new network called MPFR-Net that uses both equirectangular projection and cube-unfolding images for better detection of salient objects in 360° images.
  • * To enhance the integration of these projections, the authors developed a dynamic weighting fusion module and a filtration and refinement module to improve feature processing, leading to superior performance compared to existing methods on relevant datasets.

Projection mapping using multiple projectors is promising for spatial augmented reality; however, it is difficult to apply it to dynamic scenes. This is because the conventional method decides all pixel intensities of multiple images simultaneously based on the global optimization method, and it is hard to reduce the latency from motion to projection. To mitigate this, we propose a novel method of controlling the intensity based on a pixel-parallel calculation for each projector in real-time with low latency.
