🎯 About Project - G12-2025¶

---

I. 📖 Project Overview¶

{background:#f0f8ff; padding:15px; border-radius:5px}
Our project focuses on developing a high-quality image composition system that seamlessly merges two or more projected images into a single, visually consistent display.

Using Python and OpenCV, we employ advanced image processing techniques such as:

• 🎨 Gamma Correction - For brightness normalization
• 🔄 Alpha Blending - For smooth transitions
• ✨ Intensity Modification - For color consistency

The project is organized into specialized sub-teams responsible for software development, UML design, testing, and wiki management. Each member plays a key role in ensuring collaborative progress and well-structured documentation. {background}

Key Integration Tools:

• 📚 Doxygen - Automated code documentation
• 📊 Redmine - Project tracking and management
• 🎨 Astah - UML diagram creation

Our goal is to produce a well-documented, scalable, and reproducible system for real-time image correction and blending.

II. 💡 Motivation & Problem Statement¶

The Challenge¶

When using multiple projectors to display a single image, several issues arise:

{background:#fff3cd; padding:10px}
⚠️ Common Problems:

• Visible seams in overlapping regions
• Brightness inconsistencies between projectors
• Color mismatches at boundaries
• Uneven final projection quality {background}

Current Limitations¶

• ⏱️ Manual calibration is time-consuming
• 🎯 Human error in manual adjustments
• 💰 Hardware-based solutions are expensive
• 🔧 Limited flexibility for different setups

Our Solution¶

{background:#e7f3ff; padding:10px}
✨ Software-Based Automation

We develop an intelligent system that:
1. Detects overlapping areas automatically
2. Applies brightness corrections in real-time
3. Blends images smoothly using alpha blending
4. Eliminates the need for costly hardware calibration

By leveraging the OpenCV library, our system automates the entire alignment and blending process, ensuring seamless image projection with minimal manual intervention. {background}
