Abstract
A projector includes a correction information generation unit, an image information correction unit, and an image projection unit. The correction information generation unit sets a first coordinate in a two-dimensional projection formed by flattening out a three-dimensional projection surface onto a plane. The correction information generation unit arranges a first quadrilateral having a first aspect ratio within the two-dimensional projection, based on the first coordinate as a reference position, in such a way that the first quadrilateral comes into contact with an outline of the two-dimensional projection. The correction information generation unit determines whether the first quadrilateral is in contact with the outline of the two-dimensional projection at two or more points, or not. When the first quadrilateral is determined as being in contact with the outline of the two-dimensional projection at two or more points, the image information correction unit corrects image information, based on the first quadrilateral, and thus generates corrected image information. The image projection unit projects an image based on the corrected image information onto the projection surface.
