Calibration method of multi-projector display system with extra-large FOV and quantitative registration accuracy analysis

The calibration of multi-projector display with extra-large field of view (FOV) and quantitative registration analysis for realizing perfect visual splicing is crucial and difficult. In this paper, we present a novel calibration method to realize the seamless splicing for a multi-projector display system with extra-large FOV. The display consists of 24 projectors, covering the range of 360 degrees in the longitude direction and 210 degrees in the latitude direction. A wide-angle camera fixed on a rotating optical system is used to scan the entire display scene and establish point-to-point correspondence between projector pixels and spatial points using the longitude and latitude information. Local longitude table and latitude table are established on the target of the wide-angle camera. A deterministic method is proposed to locate the North Pole of the display. The local tables corresponding to different camera views can be unified based on the image of the North Pole to form global longitude and latitude tables of arbitrary free-form surface. The mapping between the projector pixels and the camera pixels is established by inverse projection technique, and then each pixel of each projector can be appointed a pair of unique longitude and latitude values. A quantitative registration accuracy analysis method is proposed for multi-projector display system, in which, three-frequency temporal unwrapping method based on coded longitude and latitude values is applied to calculate the registration accuracy. Experiments prove that the registration error of the multi-projector system is less than 0.4 pixels.
