Project Overview

Issue: When two projectors cast images onto the same flat screen, the overlapping portion becomes brighter than the surrounding area, causing uneven illumination).
Method: Identify where the projections intersect and generate smoothly varying alpha masks so that each projector’s contribution transitions gradually across the shared zone)
Output: A lightweight, reproducible prototype using Python and OpenCV that demonstrates the blending behavior on static images).


Objectives

  • Clarify the problem and choose an achievable solution strategy before starting development.
  • Build an alpha-blending workflow and refine it until the overlap becomes visually uniform from a standard viewing distance.
  • Test the approach using a controlled set of images, documenting parameters and results to ensure the experiment can be repeated.

*Success metric: the blended region should show no noticeable edge or brightness jump.


Scope & Operating Assumptions

  • System setup: two projectors aligned toward a flat projection surface, with their optical axes roughly perpendicular to the screen.
  • Content type: initial work focuses on still images, with possible extension to video later.
  • Overlap shape: treated as a roughly rectangular band where the blending weights decrease linearly from one projector to the other.
  • Calibration approach: prioritize simple, consistent procedures, introducing further correction only if visible imperfections remain.
