Projection Surface Sensing for Life-Size Human Image Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing projection systems require cumbersome adjustments of installation circumstances to display human images in a desired size, such as life size, due to the lack of consideration for changing display sizes based on installation conditions.
Innovation Solution
A projection system and method that adjusts the size of human images based on projection surface dimensions by using a sensor to generate projection size information, obtaining and adjusting human images accordingly, and projecting the adjusted images onto a surface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a projector is used to display human images, then the display size can be changed according to installation circumstances, but manual adjustment of installation circumstances is required to achieve desired image size
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines the projection surface size through sensor detection and independently calculates the appropriate human image size, eliminating the need for manual installation adjustment. The processing device autonomously performs the entire sizing process from detection to image generation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary detection of the projection surface size using a sensor before generating the human image. This advance measurement allows the processing device to pre-calculate the appropriate image dimensions, ensuring correct sizing is achieved automatically without requiring post-installation adjustment.
2Ease of operation
If the projection surface size is detected automatically, then manual adjustment is eliminated, but additional sensors and processing are required
Solution Approach 1:
The processing device performs multiple functions: it processes the sensor output to detect projection surface size, calculates the appropriate human image size based on the detected dimensions, and generates the final image. This multi-functionality consolidates what could be separate components into a single integrated processing unit.

AI summary
A projection method includes generating projection size information representing a dimension of a first projection image displayed on a projection surface based on information output from a sensor, obtaining a first image including a first human image representing a person, generating a third image including a second image which is obtained by adjusting a size of the first human image based on the projection size information, and projecting the third image to thereby display a second projection image on the projection surface.
