The paper was co-authored by systems design engineering graduate students Jason Deglint, Andrew Cameron, Christian Scharfenberger, along with Alexander Wong (Canada Research Chair in Medical Imaging Systems) and David Clausi, co-directors of the Vision and Image Processing Research Group in the systems design engineering department, and Mark Lamm, senior product developer at Christie Digital Systems.
This academic and industry research partnership is an initiative of the University of Waterloo Vision and Image Processing (VIP) Lab with commercialization potential for Christie Digital Systems. The outcome of the research work could be integrated into projectors used for 3D modeling as a means to simplify and streamline the exacting and tedious work of projector and camera calibration in 3D Projection Mapping projects. This projection technology is used to turn objects, often irregularly shaped, into projected display surfaces. Currently, the calibration process is extremely time consuming and difficult to do on large, intricate surfaces.
