Seam-Based Edge Blending for Multi-Projection Systems

subject

description

Perceptual seamlessness of large-scale tiled displays is still a challenge. One way to avoid Bezel effects from contiguous displays is to blend superimposed parts of the image over the edges. This work proposes a new approach for edge blending. It is based on intensity edge blending adapted on the seam description of the image content. The main advantage of this method is to reduce visual artifacts thanks to context adaptation and smooth transitions. We evaluate the quality of the method with a perceptual experiment where it is compared with state-of-the-art methods. The new method shows most improvement in low frequency areas compared to the other techniques. This method can be inserted into any multi-projector system that already applies edge blending.
