Abstract
Coding a projector's aperture plane with adaptive patterns together with inverse filtering allow the depth-of-field of projected imagery to be increased. We present two prototypes and corresponding algorithms for static and programmable apertures. We also explain how these patterns can be computed at interactive rates, by taking into account the image content and limitations of the human visual system. Applications such as projector defocus compensation, high-quality projector depixelation, and increased temporal contrast of projected video sequences can be supported. Coded apertures are a step towards next-generation auto-iris projector lenses.

Coded aperture projection
SIGGRAPH '08: ACM SIGGRAPH 2008 postersWe integrate coded apertures into off-the-shelf projectors to increase their focal depth. The regional defocus of the projection on the surface is measured automatically. The projected images are then deconvolved with locally scaled aperture codes. This ...
The random camera, the coded aperture camera, and other cameras
EGSR'07: Proceedings of the 18th Eurographics conference on Rendering TechniquesI'll describe two cameras and a comparison of many cameras. In the random camera, we use a "lens" which creates a pseudo-random relationship between incoming light rays and resulting sensor locations. We studied various properties (both good and bad) of ...
Adaptive coded aperture projection
SIGGRAPH '09: SIGGRAPH '09: PostersWith adaptive coded aperture projection, we present solutions for taking projectors to the next level. By placing a programmable liquid crystal array at a projectors aperture plane we show how the depth of field (DOF) of a projection can be greatly ...
