How does a warp and blend software solution work?Īlthough different warp and blend software manufacturers use proprietary methods to create their own warp and blend solution, the basics are somewhat common: The software takes inputs of the projectors coverage of the screen, via one or more cameras scanning the projection screen, plus parameters about the screen, and using a series of algorithms distorts the images being projected by each projector so that a correctly combined seamless single image is presented to the viewer. Warping may also be needed in both single and multiple projector designs where the image must be corrected due to things like the angle of the projector(s) to the screen.Ĭombined, these two techniques are a warp and blend solution. Warping is the shaping adjustment of those images for the nature of the surface they are being projected onto, which could have imperfections, or by design be convex or concave, such as a dome. Sometimes this is called projector edge blending.

For example, taking a series of landscape images in a panorama for a flight simulator, each one being projected by a single projector, and combining and correcting them so that the viewer sees one seamless image of the whole landscape.īlending is the overlapping, and fading of one projected image into another, at the joining edges, and combining of these multiple images into one seamless image.


What is a warp and blend software solution?Ī warp and blend software solution is the taking of images projected by multiple projectors and correcting them so that they appear as one seamless image. Here you can find out about the warp and blend software solutions that we offer ST Engineering Antycip (formerly known as Antycip Simulation) has used warp and blend software solutions on customer projects in France, Italy the UK, and across the globe.
