TL;DR

This paper introduces a novel projector-camera system with hybrid pixels that can project and capture, enabling precise pixel correspondence and dynamic projection mapping.

Contribution

It presents a new hybrid pixel system that combines projection and capturing in each pixel, addressing pixel correspondence challenges.

Findings

Prototype implementation demonstrates effective dynamic projection mapping.

Hybrid pixels enable precise projection and capturing in a single system.

System simplifies alignment in projection mapping applications.

Abstract

We propose a novel projector-camera system (ProCams) in which each pixel has both projection and capturing capabilities. Our proposed ProCams solves the difficulty of obtaining precise pixel correspondence between the projector and the camera. We implemented a proof-of-concept ProCams prototype and demonstrated its applicability to a dynamic projection mapping.
