Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for real-time interactive anamorphosis projection via face detection and tracking are disclosed. An example system includes a sensor to capture an image of a face of a user. An augmented reality controller is to access the image from the sensor, determine a position of the face of the user relative to a display surface, and apply a perspective correction to an anamorphic camera representing a vantage point of the active user. A user application is to generate a scene based on the position of the anamorphic camera. A display is to present, at the display surface, the scene based on the vantage point of the active user.

A depth-sensing camera may be used to locate objects on a planar surface. A planar fit calculation is used to model the surface. One problem with the best planar fit calculation is that it is not robust over time. Firstly, this is because the depth data has a non-linear curve near its extremities because of camera lens distortion. Secondly, as the depth-sensing camera warms up and its thermal activity changes, the depth data drifts and the initial plane fit is no longer valid. The position and the amount of curvature and drift may be different for cameras of the same make and model in some cases. In accordance with some embodiments, algorithms may be used to detect and correct for these types of errors to support more robust plane fitting in real time.
