Software tools for manual 3D projection mapping have been widely used in theme parks and exhibitions. However, no research has been conducted on detailed utilization methods and usability of those tools yet. This study organizes the entire process of manual 3D projection mapping step by step and analyzes the problems that occurred at each step to identify potential improvements of 3D projection mapping tools. First, we introduce the process, which includes: two methods for creating virtual-physical object pairs to construct a virtual environment that is identical to the real-world target of the 3D projection mapping, the production of video textures for special effects, and mapping methods that use semi-automatic projector calibration. In addition, through experiments comparing and analyzing two widely used tools under various conditions for 3D mapping, we identified the technical limitations, performance differences between tools, and issues that impede usability. Finally, we suggest improvements and future research directions to enhance the usability of the 3D projection mapping technology.

본 논문에서는 프로젝션 기반 증강현실의 초기 캘리브레이션 단계에서 수동화 작업 절차를 줄이기 위하여 위치가 변화하는 다중 물체의 위치를 자동으로 추출하여 가상이미지를 투사하기 위한 실시간 마스킹 기반 프로젝션 매핑 기법을 제안하다. 이를 위하여 카메라 영상으로부터 실재하는 여러 개의 3차원 물체의 영역을 인식하고, 프로젝션 되는 가상 이미지의 디스플레이 영역을 자동으로 계산하는 절차를 제시한다. 제안 방법을 적용한 프로젝션 매핑 프로토타입 시스템을 설계 구현하고, 동적 배경이 결합된 프로젝션 매핑 콘텐츠 제작 결과를 제시한다.

Researchers have developed virtual reality environments to provide audience with more visually immersive experiences than previously possible. One of the most popular solutions to build the immersive VR space is a multi-projection technique. However, utilization of multiple projectors requires large spaces, expensive cost, and accurate geometry calibration among projectors. This paper presents a novel omnidirectional projection system with a single projector and a single spherical mirror.We newly designed the simple and intuitive calibration system to define the shape of environment and the relative position of mirror/projector. For successful image projection, our optimized omnidirectional image generation step solves image distortion produced by the spherical mirror and a calibration problem produced by unknown parameters such as the shape of environment and the relative position between the mirror and the projector. Additionally, the focus correction is performed to improve the quality of the projection. The experiment results show that our method can generate the optimized image given a normal panoramic image for omnidirectional projection in a rectangular space.

Recently many studies has been conducted for interactive game to contents immersion through visual stimuli. Among them, Multi-Plane Image tech is suitable for projecting video in wide views, but it is difficult to perform calibration and mapping tasks for viewing separately. In this paper, we developed a calibration mapping applies to the field archery game space in the form of CAVE. As a result, we maintained the resolution confirmed the space through the video without distortion and expect to be applicable to the fields requiring presence, such as training contents.

If the automated image calibration system is performed in the position of non-experts, an expert will be required in every case inefficiently. But this requires an expert only when absolutely necessary. As well as the rapid system operation and efficient workforce can be managed. Image correction to perform projector inspection and management skills and to filter SW plug-in correction is that special theater system maintenance is not only managed efficiently, but also combined image analysis techniques can improve the technical perfection. This paper is to minimize the economic loss by developing a 10-bit High-depth and high-resolution $360^{\circ}$ projection image analysis technique and is to development of the special theater calibration system to effectively support quality.

Image degradation will occur depending on hardware characteristics according to the lapse of time between beam projectors when multivision system is installed in the Theme park/Exhibition/Science Museum. In this paper, we have researched the 10-bit High-depth and high-resolution $360^{\circ}$ projection image analysis technique to solve the problems of quality and the maintenance of the theater. The goal is to minimize the economic losses and the development of special theater calibration system that can efficiently support a quality of an image. We proposed the method of image analysis technology, and explained the detailed functions and evaluation methods for image analysis technique. Evaluation method included the performance items, and proposed reasonable value to the experimental method and the goal value.

In this paper we present a projection mapping system onto human's moving hand by a projector as information delivery media and Kinect to recognize hand motion. Most traditional projection mapping techniques project a variety of images onto stationary objects, however, our system provides new user experience by projecting images onto the center of the moving palm. We explain development process of the system, and production of content as applications on our system. We propose hardware organization and development process of open software architecture based on object oriented programming approach. For stable image projection, we describe a device calibration method between the projector and Kinect in three dimensional space, and a denoising technique to minimize artifacts from Kinect coordinates vibration and unstable hand tremor.

Recently commercial mixed-reality devices have be launched and a variety of mixed-reality content has produced, but narrow field of view, which appear to be hardware technical limitations, are mentioned as an important issue for hindering immersion and limiting the scope of use. We propose a new innovative system that cooperate multiple beam projectors and a number of mixed reality devices. Using this technology, users can maximize immersion and minimize frustration of narrow viewing angles through 3D object rendering on background of large 2D screens. This system, named BtS (Beyond the Sight), is implemented on a client-server basis and includes the ability to calibrate between devices, share spatial coordinate systems, and synchronize real-time renderings as core modules. In this paper, each configuration module is described in detail and the possibility of its performance and application is shown through the introduction of mixed reality content case created using BtS system.
