Projector-Camera Calibration on Dynamic, Deformable Surfaces

Dynamic projection mapping (DPM) enables viewers to visualize information on dynamic, deformable objects. Such systems often comprise of a RGB-D camera and projector pair that must be calibrated apriori. Most calibration techniques require specific static calibration objects of known geometry. In this paper, we propose the first projector-camera calibration technique for DPM that uses the dynamic, deformable surface itself to calibrate the devices, without needing to bring in a static, rigid calibration object. Our method is hardware agnostic, fast, and accurate and allows quick recalibration.
