With the current trend of digital convergence in mobile phones, mobile manufacturers are researching how to develop a
mobile beam-projector to cope with the limitations of a small screen size and to offer a better feeling of movement while
watching movies or satellite broadcasting. However, mobile beam-projectors may project an image on arbitrary surfaces,
such as a colored wall and paper, not on a white screen mainly used in an office environment. Thus, color correction
method for the projected image is proposed to achieve good image quality irrespective of the surface colors. Initially,
luminance values of original image transformed into the YCbCr space are changed to compensate for spatially nonuniform
luminance distribution of arbitrary surface, depending on the pixel values of surface image captured by mobile
camera. Next, the chromaticity values for each surface and white-screen image are calculated using the ratio of the sum
of three RGB values to one another. Then their chromaticity ratios are multiplied by converted original image through an
inverse YCbCr matrix to reduce an influence of modulating the appearance of projected image due to spatially different
reflectance on the surface. By projecting corrected original image on a texture pattern or single color surface, the image
quality of projected image can be improved more, as well as that of projected image on white screen.
