Description

The projector equipment and the method that are used for pepper's ghost illusion
The application Chinese patent application No.200480043185.9 of the same name that to be applicant Musion Systems Ltd. submit on April 1st, 2004 divides an application.
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of projector equipment and method.The present invention more specifically but and relate to nonexclusively and a kind ofly be arranged to thereby the image projection of object is provided to the screen that tilt, the part reflection the projector equipment of the wrong perception of depth and the method that is used for this equipment of structure.
Background technology
Project image onto that to make the observer who is positioned at screen the place ahead can observe this projection on the screen of part reflection be known, this is called so-called " Peoper's ghost (peppers ghost) " arranges, is form known in recreation ground (fairground) performance.
This image projection has been applied to conduct promotion to demonstration, wherein host (presenter) be positioned at inclination, part reflective viewing screen rear, this screen typically is tension paillon foil (tensioned foil), for example the image of automobile is projected on this screen by at least one reflecting surface, for example sees EP 0799436.The system that the position that the host is positioned at the projected image rear and host stand in screen the place ahead compares many intrinsic advantages, and wherein considerable is can not stop this projected image when the host walks when crossing over this projected image.In addition, use inclination screen makes the image viewing person feel that this image has depth and is not only two dimensional image that for example automobile looks and rotates at rotating disk.
Yet there are many relative problems in present image projection equipment, and for example, it is difficult that the installation of paillon foil proves, and this causes the inhomogeneous tension of paillon foil and the fold on the paillon foil conversely, and this has weakened the viewing quality that projects to the image on the paillon foil.In addition; in this paillon foil is installed; this paillon foil must be laid on the dustless cloth of the cleaning bigger than paillon foil or the plastic sheet (sheet); to prevent that particle from attaching on this paillon foil; these particles can scratch foil surfaces and weaken projected image viewing quality or can be as the scattering center of non-coherent scattering projected light, thereby owing to this scattered light does not have contribution to reduce the viewing quality of image to the image of watching.
In addition, owing to pepper's ghost illusion (illusion of peppers ' ghost) depends on the reflected image that the contrast by its immediate environment of light and background forms.Therefore reflected image is more strong, and reflected image looks more three-dimensional, and the color vibration is more serious, and is more clear for spectators' energy reflected image.The host may uncontrollable paillon foil the surround lighting of high brightness (high level), for example in the trade exhibition during from the surround lighting of auditorium, the surround lighting of high brightness causes the surround lighting of remarkable brightness from the reflection of screen, has reduced the intensity of reflected image on the background.In these environment, bright projector (more than 8000 lumens) is expected.Yet, use bright projector to cause unwanted illumination to penetrate projection surface and pass this paillon foil reflecting, thereby produce milky hue before the lights and around the zone of this reflected image appearance.
Another problem of image projection equipment is at present, and the projector power that these equipment use is very powerful, typically is 8000 to 27000 lumens, therefore a large amount of light is projected to the image-region that does not have object in the image.This is an inherent feature of projection and causes low contrast (contrast ratio), and this causes forming milky hue when projector is connected, and it spreads all over the film portion that projector forms image.This milky hue is not obviously expected, because it has reduced the observer to the non-existent perception of screen.
Milky hue is determined by the contrast degree that this projector provides at least in part with respect to the degree of brightness of image.Contrast is more high, and then this image is brighter for the brightness level of this milky hue.Even the projector of contrast up to 3000: 1 still launched milky photochromic accent when using in " Peoper's ghost " arranges.
Another problem relevant with some projector is keystone effect (Keystone effect), (edge is direction up and down) image that normally elongates of deformity wherein occurs owing to the inclination angle projection.When the depth perceptual important, this point is especially crucial.The solution that adopts in the projector of modern costliness is to adopt the figure adjustment to the trapezoidal distortion distortion.Yet, older, so not expensive or or even some special-purpose high definition projectors do not adopt this digital keystone correction, therefore be difficult to be configured to for the current images projector equipment.High definition (HD) projector does not provide the trapezoidal distortion adjustment, is because when increasing the trial keystone correction together with the number of pixels around the image border, causes image border these pixels on every side to look and resembles " through handling (crunched) ".In addition, when handling mobile image, the HD compromise projector projector processing speed.When this processing power is used for carrying out keystone correction and motion process simultaneously, see that when mobile image beating, Here it is " choking effect (choking effect) ".Usually we can say that video image and use the electronics keystone correction is for a change compared with the image through this processing not, will cause picture quality to reduce.
In addition, current system does not allow projected image to disappear apparently and reappears after placing the three-dimensional 3D object on the stage, and this is because screen is positioned at host's the place ahead and the most close spectators.
Summary of the invention
According to first aspect present invention, a kind of image projection equipment is provided, comprise projector, framework and at least part of transparent screen:
This framework is arranged to keep screen to be subjected to tension force, makes screen tilt at a certain angle with respect to the plane of departure from the light of projector;
This screen has front surface, is arranged such that to be reflected from this front surface from the light of projector emission; And
As if this projector is arranged to projected image, makes the light that forms image incide on this screen, thereby forms the virtual image by the light from this screen reflection, and this virtual image looks and is positioned at the screen rear.
This equipment is that with the advantage that current system compares screen need not to apply expensive part reflectance coating, and the angle dependence relation of the reflectivity of transparent dielectric material can be used for causing the part reflection of projected image.Therefore, this simplified equipment the manufacturing of this system, and reduce its production cost.In addition, use framework to make screen need not directly to be fixed to ceiling or floor, therefore compare the practicality that increased equipment with prior art system.
This screen can be paillon foil.This paillon foil can be rolled around cylinder (cylinder) when not using.This screen can tilt about 45 ° with the plane of departure from the light of projector.This screen can comprise partially reflecting layer at front surface.

Embodiment
With reference now to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 4,, projector equipment 100 comprises the box frame 102, projector 106, the supporting frame 108 that are formed by truss 104, remain on screen 110 in the supporting frame 108 and the painted reflecting plate 112 of grey.
Projector 106 overhangs on the front upper lateral part truss 104a of box frame 102.Plate 112 is positioned at projector 106 belows on the base plate of box frame 102.Screen 110 tilts about 45 ° with horizontal direction, the front upper lateral part truss 104a of the front edges next-door neighbour box frame 102 of screen 110, and the rear part edge of screen next-door neighbour is positioned at the stage 109 at box frame 102 back sides.
Screen 110 typically is polymer foil, and it can have the part reflectance coating at this paillon foil front surface.Screen 110 remains in the box frame 102 by the puller strap 114 that attaches to box frame 102, and this puller strap 114 is positioned at top and the bottom margin of screen 110.At the free end of each puller strap 114, there is a pair of clamping jaw 116, it has each opening 118,120 of perforation.The surface of jaw 116 has applied lapping compound 121 alternatively, paper, thereby jaw 116 holding forces of enhancing screen 110.
The edge of screen 110 places between the jaw 116, and bolt 122 is set to and runs through opening 118,120 and pass screen 110.Nut 124 is connected bolt, thereby and fastened screen 110 is remained between the jaw 116.Puller strap 114 passes truss 104, and fastened by friction snap-fit arrangement 128.
Each puller strap 114 can to apply uniform tension force on screen 110 whole surfaces, be reduced and eliminate ideally the formation of fold on the screen 110 thus by individually fastening or lax, and these folds have reduced the quality that projects to the image on the screen 110.
Reflecting plate 112 is positioned at projector 106 belows, adjoins the lower front lateral part truss 104b of box frame 102.Projector 106 is directed to so that the light of being launched by projector 106 projects on the reflecting plate 112.Plate 112 tilts, and makes the light slave plate of being launched by projector 106 112 upwards reflex on the screen 110.Use the plate 112 of grey or other colors, reduced when not having image projection from the relevant milky hue of the light of projector emission.
Project the front surface reflection of the screen 110 that a part of projected light on the screen 110 can see from spectators.The host who is positioned on the screen 110 rear stages 109 also can be seen by spectators, but not overslaugh spectators watch image.
Plate 112 is connected to hinge arrangement 130 along its rear rim.Hinge arrangement 130 allows plate 112 to be raised and reduces, and is generally the hydraulic pressure ramp (hydraulic ramp) 132 by computing machine 134 controls, thus compensation " trapezoidal distortion " effect.Alternatively, can rise and descend by the manpower rope for traction or by the direct motor drive plate and promote and reduce plate 112.
The lifting of plate 112 and reduction also allow by changing the height of image component on screen 110, change spectators to the perception of this projected image element position depth before the lights.What it is contemplated that is, this plate 112 can comprise a plurality of unitary part, and each unitary part can be promoted separately and reduce, thereby allows independent image component perception depth to be independent of other image components and change.
The non-reflection mask 136 that is stage property 138 shapes is placed on the plate 112, and this stage property is stone in this example.Stage property 138 places on the stage 109, is usually located at screen 110 rears.Place mask 136, so that plate 112 thickens in the corresponding zone, stage property 138 present positions on screen 110.This layout of mask 136 and stage property 138 makes, when the part of image or this image is passed from stage property 138, apparent the going up of a part that is projected in this image on the screen 110 or image disappears, in case and image has passed when mask 136 stops light to reflex on the zone of the screen 110 corresponding with stage property 138 positions from stage property 138, the part of this image or image is reproduced.Mask 136 size and dimensions can change, for example by moving to appropriate position and according to the size of stage property 138 and varying sized sliding panel.This also can allow the change of stage property depth perception, this is because as previously mentioned, cutter can be changed rightly to the apparent effect of the image component of variable depth, for example compare with the fuzzy image nearby of stone of intended size, the stone of identical size is fuzzy pro rata, and image is more at a distance.
Light source 140 is installed on the box frame 102 and shines stage property 138, thereby reduces the influence that slave plate 112 reflexes to any residual light on this stage property.
With reference now to Fig. 2 a,, is applicable to that the alternative projection arrangement 200 of Fig. 1 and 2 equipment with additional truss comprises: the tilting mirrors 204 that overhangs the projector 106 of screen 110 the place ahead truss 202 and overhang the variable pitch of projector 110 the place aheads second truss 206.Projector 106 projects image onto on the minute surface 204, so that this image is projected on the reflecting plate 112 and on the screen 110.Minute surface 204 is arranged to vertical with plate 112 usually, and has among the embodiment of variable angle of inclination at plate 112, and minute surface 204 will be arranged to follow the trail of synchronously any variation at plate 112 angles of inclination usually.
