The present invention relates to a method of determining content screening suitabilities in a multi-projection theater including a plurality of projection planes. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of determining content screening suitabilities based on a series of operation equations using content attribute values, such as the horizontal length and vertical length of an output screen when content is played back, and theater attribute values, such as the length and height of the surface of a front or side wall within a theater building. The method may include calculating at least one of a screen attribute value and a theater attribute value, calculating a suitability based on the screen attribute value or the theater attribute value, and determining whether the calculated suitability falls within a predetermined range.

Apparatus and method for determining content screening suitabilities in a multi-projection theater

Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for normalizing the size of content in a multi-projection theater and a computer-readable recording medium. The method may include receiving theater parameters stored in a database, computing the scale factor of an image projected on a main screen based on the received theater parameters, controlling the image projected on the main screen by applying the computed scale factor to the image, and controlling the scale of an image projected on a sub-screen according to the controlled image of the main screen.

Method and apparatus for normalizing size of content in multi-projection theater

Disclosed herein is a method of generating images for a multi-projection theater and a method of generating projection images for a multi-projection theater, wherein a source image is mapped to a sphere, virtual planes according to the structure of a multi-projection theater are generated, and the source image on the sphere is projected on the virtual planes. The method may include mapping a source image to a sphere, generating a virtual plane according to the structure of a theater, and projecting the image on the sphere on the virtual plane.

Method for generating images for multi-projection theater and image management apparatus using the same

Disclosed herein is a method of representing the visible area of a theater. The method may include generating a value of an angle at which a specific spot is seen from a reference spot within the theater and representing the visible area of the theater based on the value of the angle.

Method for representing visible area of theater

Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for normalizing the size of content in a multi-projection theater and a computer-readable recording medium. The method may include receiving theater parameters stored in a database, computing the scale factor of an image project on a main screen based on the received theater parameters, controlling the image projected on the main screen by incorporating the computed scale factor into the image, and controlling an image projected on a sub-screen so that the height or width of at least any one of images of sub-screens having a different pixel size or ratio from the controlled image of the main screen is identical with a height or width of the controlled image of the main screen.

Disclosed herein is a method of correcting the distortion of an image overlap area. The method includes identifying an overlap area between images projected by a plurality of projectors, obtaining information about the brightness of an image projected on the overlap area, and controlling the brightness of the image projected on the overlap area. Controlling the brightness of the image includes incorporating a transparency variable &#x3b1; into the image, and the transparency variable of an image projected by a specific projector is reduced toward remaining boundaries of the overlap area at a boundary of a non-overlap area and the overlap area.
