Light Me Up: An Augmented-Reality Projection System
Panagiotis‐Alexandros Bokaris, Benjamin Askenazi, Michael A. Haddad · 2019
Real-time facial projection mapping is a challenging problem due to the low system latency and the high spatial augmentation accuracy requirements. We propose a new compact and inexpensive projector-camera system (ProCam) composed of off-the-self devices that achieves dynamic facial projection mapping. A mini projector and a depth sensor camera are coupled together to project content on a user’s face. In one application, the camera tracks the facial landmarks of a person and simulated makeup is mapped on the person’s face. The latter is created by defining different zones of interest on the face. Instead of using sophisticated hardware, we propose an affordable system that can be easily installed anywhere while it assures an immerse experience. No initialization phase is needed and the system can handle different face topologies. In addition, the users can keep their eyes open and enjoy the projetion in a mirror.
