Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for driving projectors are described. The actual area projected over by a laser projector for a given pixel may not exactly match a desired projection area for the pixel, especially at edge regions of an image. In the present systems, devices, and methods, projection data is provided for at least one image to be projected by a laser projector. The projection data can include sets of alternative data sections at edge regions of the at least one image, effectively increasing resolution for the edge regions of the image. Depending on a projection pattern being used by a laser projector at a given time, select alternative data sections can be projected which closely match the actual area covered by the projection pattern, improving image quality.
