Automatic configuration of display ordering for multi-display environments
Takashi Ohta, Jun Tanaka · 2010
We designed and built a system that configures the information of how displays are arranged as a multi-display environment. The system automatically matches the physical location of displays and network addresses. It uses a web camera for capturing a real-time video to observe each display to flash its screens one by one. The timing and relative locations of the flashing screens are recognized using an image processing technique. Furthermore, the correspondence of the displays and the network addresses can be deduced from these data. In this article, we explain the system concept and design, and report the performance result. Results show that the system works perfectly, with various configurations of display dispositions.
